+
+# This is a simple shell script which spawns a browser-independent
+# address bar. The dmenu_websearch bar can follow a URL, search the web,
+# and read bookmarks from a bookmarks file. If the cursor is not focused
+# to a web browser, it will open the URL or the search term with the
+# default browser. If the cursor is focused to a browser, be it terminal
+# or graphical, it will act as the address bar of that browser.
+
+# The reason of me writing this script is to have the same address bar
+# for all browsers which allows me to have one simple bookmarks file and
+# same address bar settings and behaviour for all browsers. w3m, links,
+# lynx, dillo, etc. don't allow you to perform web searches with their
+# built-in address bar. With dmenu_websearch bar I don't have to use
+# their built-in address bars. Also having to enter a URL or search term
+# without first openning a browser is convenient and faster.
+
+
+# DEFINITIONS
+
+browser="$TERMINAL -e $BROWSERCLI"
+homepage=$WWW_HOME
+bookmarks_file=$HOME/.bookmarks
+# The first line of the bookmarks file should have the monkey head
+# (🐵). Following the monkey head it should have a URL per line.
+# Bookmarks can be commented with `#`. Also, bookmarks can have names.
+# If a bookmark has a name it should follow this format: `URL, "NAME"`.
