Hey there,

You gave a survey and requested people to comment on it.

URL is here:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/355TK88

I just filled it out but wanted to give a bit of feedback:

"5. (Linux Users Only) Would you use 32 Bit Linux builds if they were provided?"

My main machine is Linux, 64GB RAM, quite fast and expensive as I spend so much time on it. 64 bit of course, 10 cores.

But having 32 bit binaries available is useful too. These don't have to be maintained a lot, I'd be happy for ALL 32 bit binaries to be maintained, say, just once or twice per year. That should more than suffice, like, a yearly release. But the reason for this is more important.

An elderly relative of mine uses a 32 bit laptop, currently Windows. I'd love to put Linux on it, with tons of my own scripts (I have a lot of code written over +25 years, including GUIs so this may be useful for me in that I can cut time maintaining that old laptop). If there is a 32 bit release of Thorium, this would be super-useful - both on windows and on linux.

I assume not many people still need or use 32 bit, but in a few instances it can be useful. I am not sure if it is worth your time investment, but from the user side, it may definitely be very helpful. (And even if it is not made available anymore, others could perhaps resume a snapshot, or even help you maintain things, so that it does not become much more for you other than just building the final .exe or elf-binary, and then making that available on github or so.

In regards to other questions: I think more options to answer would be nice. For instance, I often want to disable certain things, including tab-close buttons, or the audio-button (I accidentally hit it when I have too many tabs, so I'd want to remove that audio button; I don't need the audio button there anyway.)

By the way, it would also be nice for a poll option in regards to downloadable releases. Right now there are 18 assets and I have no idea what I have to download ...
