From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Solution :

  • :set
  • In this list of options find the entry with the default DDG and change it
  • :save

The reason I had trouble starting to find the solution is because qutebrowser is not using a configuration file by default (from version 1.0 or something onward) and I got lost in the qutebrowser help which has countless entries. Thanks to the Arch Linux wiki I figured out more.

Read the fine manual. They spent the time writing it, the least you can do is read it. https://qutebrowser.org/doc/help/settings.html

Thanks for pointing to documentation. The Arch Linux wiki just saved the day.

As the person before me wasn't greatly helpful (gave a website but that's it. You will change url.default_page to something that isn't https://start.duckduckgo.com/

Check out :set url.default_page and :set url.start_pages.
