Why now

Chrome's dominance in Japan reveals localized feature gaps.

Who for
Japanese web users
Business model
Enterprise licensing
Effort
A few weeks

Japanese users face specific web interaction challenges like complex form inputs and vertical text.

Build extensions for text reformatting, payment form assistance, or integration with local services.

Monetize through enterprise licensing to Japanese companies needing workforce tools.

MVP could be a single focused utility like automated furigana insertion.

Risk: Chrome's frequent updates may break niche functionality.
