Is there a way to get the current data folder?
If you know the names of the folders in advance it's possible to make a different mapping in each of the folders to load a different file per datafolder but with the same keys. There is no variable system in Vieb, and as such there are no commands that will need or use the datafolder as an argument. This specific question would best be solved by a proper bookmark system which would load a file from the datafolder anyway, without having to build this in manually. Work on this has started some time ago, but has recently stalled: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/pull/391 If you or anyone else is up to the task feel free to pick this up again, as I don't use bookmarks at all so it's of little use to me personally, and as such have bigger priority tickets to work on in Vieb most of the time.

What software would you like to see ported?
Please could you port Vieb? It's the only browser that really works on my old ThinkPad!

A way to hide the scrollbar completely + darkreader takes a sec to apply darkmode..
For the time being you can keep using the extension, but once 9.0.0 is released extension support will indeed be removed. To modify the styling, you can use the new "userstyle" setting to inject custom styling into any page, the relevant commit is here. Once that version is released you can find the help for it with :help userstyle, though that isn't in any released version yet (You can always build it yourself to get it early).

Will Vieb support extensions in future?
In the current releases there is experimental support for it, but this will be dropped soon due to the lack of compatibility. Instead I will focus my efforts towards integrating commonly requested features, which has started with the integration of sponsorblock and darkreader. So unless by a miracle somebody will contribute a working extension integration, full extension support is not something Vieb will have. You can find more info on Github, and also suggest extensions you want to be in Vieb: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/385

Vieb 8.0.0: chromium 102, performance and security improvements, add source viewer, add readerview, better adblocking, support prompts (and block dialogs), custom useragents, bugfixes for: follow labels, composing keyboards, url encoding and much more
Extensions are hard, and the current implementation is as far as I can personally make them work, which is sadly not good enough. I'm considering dropping support altogether and implementing major ones into Vieb (such as some sort of darkreader). Extensions are such a daunting task that even implementing multiple extensions from scratch seems easier than trying to make all of them work as proper extensions, this is also the approach used for the new sourceviewer and reader view (both of which use package to render the views, but are still integrated into Vieb as if a native part of it). The current progress of making extensions work is tracked in this ticket: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/130, but it's been stuck at basic extensions (such as dark reader) without GUI for a while, and even those fail to install occasionally for the most obscure and random reasons, it's just not very stable at all.

adblock with python adblock library on Windows
Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList)

Vimium C – Extension to navigate website by keyboard shortcuts
FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0
> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.
You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

qutebrowser v2.0.0 released (with better adblocker)!
How would I make adblock "available" on Windows? I found the python scripts here, but I have no clue where qutebrowser would be looking for these?
-
Adding Vimium to Chrome was a game-changer, it added a lot of shortcuts that helped me improve my productivity. Do ya'll enable Vim commands with every app you use or is it just me?
There are various solutions to this - see point 21 in the FAQ
-
Drop Windows 32-bit support?
Purely a maintenance thing - faster windows releases and not having to take care of 32-bit support for the adblock library.
-
Minimal browser with effective adblocking?
You will need the (optional) adblock Python library. Once you have that installed, with the default content.blocking.method = auto setting, it'll be enabled automatically. You can also set the setting to adblock explicitly, then you'll get a warning if the library wasn't found.
