HI Javier,

Thank you for the tip. I'm new to qutebrowser and may have done something
wrong.
I've created the config.py file. Page *qute://version* says that is has
been loaded.
I have copied your lines and added one for '*.google.com', but with no
success.

Could you please point me in the right direction?
