Based on ArniDagur/python-adblock#25 I wonder if I should drop support for 32-bit Windows binaries with qutebrowser v2.0.0. Download numbers are surprisingly high, according to https://utilify.me/github-release-stats with https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser:

Downloads Filename Size
144 qutebrowser-1.14.1-windows-standalone-win32.zip 97 MB
214 qutebrowser-1.14.1-win32.exe 71 MB
798 qutebrowser-1.14.1-windows-standalone-amd64.zip 115 MB
1 423 qutebrowser-1.14.1-amd64.exe 82 MB
249 qutebrowser-1.14.0-windows-standalone-win32.zip 96 MB
265 qutebrowser-1.14.0-win32.exe 70 MB
890 qutebrowser-1.14.0-windows-standalone-amd64.zip 114 MB
1 459 qutebrowser-1.14.0-amd64.exe 80 MB
235 qutebrowser-1.13.1-windows-standalone-win32.zip 102 MB
326 qutebrowser-1.13.1-win32.exe 75 MB
1 368 qutebrowser-1.13.1-windows-standalone-amd64.zip 119 MB
2 242 qutebrowser-1.13.1-amd64.exe 86 MB

But at the same time I wonder how many of those people could just use the 64-bit release instead

Anyone here actually running a 32 bit Windows and wants to weigh in?
