I'm dissuaded from using Thorium after the news of the developer including... questionable material in their builds[0], and checked into CVS no less.

Thorium – Radioactive Chromium Fork
Yeah, man. Honestly it's kind of a sexy picture that yiff png^0. I ain't into furry shit and I think it's weird, but that's a pretty sexy pose right there for people of a certain orientation.

I mean, weird to include it in a GitHub repo, but not evil. The fact that some NPCs are falling over themselves to call this evil (while probably repressed-guilt-projectively retreating to their private stashus of furry-et-al pon when the sun rises) suggests there's "rotten" in the state of browser forking, methinks! hahahahaha :)

Don't Use Thorium Browser – If Installed, Remove It
Too much misinformation, christ. After checking another thread, it appears the browser contains a softcore furry image, and the alleged CP is the anti-circumcision propaganda images the guy hosts on his public github.io page.
Furry easter egg removal commit is here:
https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/commit/9947421f1480bd1...
And these are the alleged edits on the github.io page:
> the site for thorium at one point had a documentary about circumcision on it, alongside furry porn and other weird political stuff, when he was called out on it, it magically disappeared.

Thorium!
- Most "secure/private" browser that is still somewhat mainstream/compatible?
Vieb

Vieb Browser because it is keyboard based and very easy to move around the interface.

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.

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.
