Guix,

After installing the eolie Web browser from Guix and opening it 
for the first time, it immediately loads www.google.com.  This was 
an unpleasant surprise to me (I lead a sheltered life) and I 
consider it a bug.

From cursory source-pokin's it seems pretty trivial to change the 
default start page to guix.info or about:blank.

However, www.google.com is also used as the default search engine 
when the user mistypes a URL or searches from the navigation bar. 
Not good!  There doesn't seem to be a way to disable that, only to 
change the providers.

Built-in alternatives are DuckDuckGo and Qwant.  Are they any 
better?

Kind regards,

T G-R
