Google Chrome Japan

If only they made google chrome for mac os x 10.4 ;_;

IS THAT A SONY AUDIO/VIDEO EDITING/CUEING LAPTOP!?!? - I seriously gotta get me one of those

im still considering switching over to GC - i just love Opera too much ^^

waitin for giveaways...... (waku waku doki doki..)

I love Chrome's philosophy of how an internet should be. I can't believe that it already been a year since I heard about Chrome. I love cross platform software.

I already got my nendoroid saber lily yesterday. one of my favourite nendo.

At home, i use safari as my standard browser, although i also install firefox. but in office when i use windows, i prefer chrome for it's fast performance. never let me down even once yet. waiting the official release of chrome for mac snow leopard.

I mainly use Firefox, but I've been waiting to try out Chrome for Mac. I just downloaded the developer build, so I'll give that a whirl for a bit. Now I have 3 browsers that I'll use interchageablely on my Mac ^^. It will be handy when it comes to developing for the web, though both Chrome and Safari use webkit. The themes in Chrome are done really well though.

Awesome! Nice to see that you were admitted to this awesome party.
I'm dying to get a slice out of that awesome Chrome cake. Honestly, I've been using Chrome since it came out, and I loved how these themes came out.

I posted an article on figure.fm earlier this week regarding the new Chrome themes mentioned in your post here:
http://www.figure.fm/post/en/3065/Good+Smile+Company+s+Google+Chrome+theme+and+Miku+s.html
A good move by Google for opening the Chrome canvas to everyone!

I love the speed of chrome, but currently there are not much addons for it.
So my main browser is still firefox.
If chrome got enough addons, I may go for the swap.

昨日からGSCテーマのグーグルクロムをメインにつかってますよｗｗ↓

http://mangayomo.com/blog/tofu/2009-10-08-002

like chrome better than IE, but been using Firefox for allmost a decade now, so very set in my ways, and it does all i ask of it... so google doesn't get to rule the world just yet!

chrome colour food is quite scary ^^;

That Tenori-on thing reminds me of a Kaossilator but with a graphical output.

Hmm... My naughty instinct is to punch that blue button on the cake.

"...we'll hook up I'm not being swarmed by killer camels..." toe?

I want a Miku x GSC x Google Strap and Aki-sans' business card

Me wants that leek phone accessory!!

I mostly bounce between Firefox and Safari now. Once Chrome hits the point on the Mac where it can be used for everything, I'll probably end up switching. It's pretty much the middle road between speed and features I want.

Still, if they gave me some of that cake, I'd switch now...

I don't really like themes and I rather just have the program blend with the OS. I used Chrome once and I didn't like it. I was using opera until I tried Firefox 3.5 and all the problem I had with it Firefox were fixed.

P.S. Awesome article this are the article that got me hooked on Dannychoo.

The Chrome cake dun really attract me.

Looks like a great party! lol @ ion cannon
Can't wait to have a stab at the google swag.

I'm not preferential to one browser or another, the only thing keeping me with firefox is the awesome japanese dictionary, rikaichan. but with all its toys, FF has become a resource hog, and I figure its time to try something new. Chrome seems a breath of fresh air, although it does seem google is trying to take over the world..... O_O

Yeah!!!! Chrome rocks!!!!!!!

HaHa, I love the look of the colourful food.

I've never tried Chrome because I'm happy with Firefox, although the layout does look quite nice.

Never really seen Chrome in action yet unfortunately... Maybe I'll try it out on one of the computers.

"Google Girls", it has a nice ring to it :D

you need good eyes and very fast reflexes ;)

every time go out with a fist, keep en eye out and change it to scissors or paper at the very last split of a second

Hey Danny
How about suggesting folks at Google to come up with Chrome Mobile for phones?
Not sure how keitai in JP surfs internet, but phones like Nokia can use 3rd party browsers. Browsers that are widely used on mobile are Opera Beta5 and Bolt 1.5.

Is there a Chrome-tan yet? Chrome being a browser and an OS could confuse things since both get -tans.

I've been using Chrome a little bit for a while now. If they just had rikaichan and a Speed Dial then I'd definitely move over.

May the Force be with you!

By the way, Chrome is my main browser.

Sweet, Chrome on OSX! Thanks for the link! I was using Chromium, which seemed like a gimpy version of it. Safari is my main browser because Firefox is slow, but I occasionally use Chrome for stuff that doesn't load properly in Safari.

My main browser is Chrome because it is fast... However, sometimes I still prefer to use firefox when doing specific tasks...

The main reason is chrome don't have "properties" in their right click menu... how come they don't have that simple yet useful thing.. instead they replace it with developer tools... == no need so complex lol...

My main browser on my desktop is Google Chrome. However, on my laptops and work computers I prefer using Firefox. I've been using Chrome on the desktop for about a month now and I like what I see, so maybe in the near future I will make the complete switch but for the time being, I am content with both browsers.

Lovely GSC posters. Will be looking forward to GSC's appearance at AFA!

Colorful foods. Cute nendroids. Sounds like a fun event.
Still undecided on Chrome. Currently sticking with Firefox.

did I see cameltoe on dollfie?
I mean, that's some nice leek strap :)

the food looks awesome. macaronnnn... =9
hopefully is able to grab both goodsmile's new saber figures this weekend X3
came to like safari after converting to mac, before that i used chrome, before that is firefox.
can't seem to get away from safari, i like the cover flow.

Those drinks look really healthy ^^

Chrome is installed on my Netbook, cause I just need a fast, small app for browsing there.
Firefox is my faved browser on my main machine though. I need my addons!

While i do know that when it comes to system process, the chrome definitely has an advantage over it but despite such i still prefer firefox for it was able to deliver the best service for me after trying out different browsers.

Hatsune Miku x GSC x Google strap - seems a cool combo.

I use Google Chrome All the time . I don't know why I dislike Firefox maybe its because I havent tried the upgrade version yet ^^;;

I got 4 Browser in my computer ^_^

They certainly go all out for these events the food is full of madness! I use chrome as my main browser and I really like the speed and simplicity it has over other browsers. The GSC table is filled of great figures as I'd expect, although the figure that caught my eye the most was the Shiki figure. I couldn't find it at all while I was out in JP, I'm still looking for somewhere to buy it, its absolutely stunning work. More Google x GSC can only be for the better.

Using 5 Browsers now:
Firefox - For my daily usage, love the add-ons and working a lot with Personas Skins
Internet Explorer 6 - Working purpose, most clients still use IE6, so I have to stick with it.
Internet Explorer 8 - Working purpose and some random stuff that doesn't work on IE goes here.
Opera - when on my iPod Touch, on PC just opened once, and was very weird.
Chrome - I use to open my Google Apps, too plain and clean for my taste.

Firefox must be the best one.

Where's the DannyChoo Theme? ;)

Anyways, GSC Theme, I choose you!

Google Chrome lacks just a few things to become my main browser...
1. Bookmark All Tabs
2. Drag and drop to Bookmarks
3. Xmarks (I know, I'm using the Developer's version with Xmarks alpha... so it's almost there)
4. Screengrab
5. DownThemAll

This is what I need for a full switch. And really, I'd be glad... Firefox is giving me too many headaches recently.
It crashes all the time, recently something happened and it lost all the links I had on "Restore Session" pages, for some reason it doesn't go well with my Wordpress blog and other stuff like that.

I'll use Chrome for my light tasks which include checking the weather :D
Those Miku x GSC x Google Chrome straps are looking funky. The celebration looked like a hell'a lot of fun as well.

Chrome's my new main browser. I've been switching back and forth between firefox, opera, and chrome, but the recent 3.0 update makes it come out at the top. There are still some websites and services that have compatibility issues with chrome though (but not with firefox for some reason).

I like the poll system in your posts

i use firefox always, and IE8 for just a few sites which are not compatible in FF. tried out chrome, didnt like it one bit. it might be fast but we cant customise it a lot like ff. no variety of plugins like ff has. plus at the moment it can only do what IE8 does, just faster. so no reason for me to switch or install another browser on my pc.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOGLE CHROME~!!! \o/

I use Google Chrome occasionally and it is my 2nd browser next to Firefox.

I like Google Chrome for its fast rendering of pages (yey webkit \o/). I will love Google Chrome more if it supports 3rd party plugins much like Firefox or better yet supports Firefox plugins :'D

@Aki-san's business card

I bet that Aki-san brings a small box of that every time at events like that XDDD

@Google Marketing Guy

That's great that he has found your site which is a great resource that's beyond being an otaku lol

@AFA09

Looking forward to meet you ^_~

The event looked awesome.

*ehermlovethedolfiecameltoeeherm*

I wish they'd hold a Google event here in the Philippines too. Anybody have Wave already? I'd like to pool some fellow otaku contacts.

Google.. as an search enigine the best.
But I stay with Firefox! I'm furry (I like Horo... xD)

Time for me to make a switch over to chrome... the cake look delicious~
Will be looking forward to AFA this year~!

That looks like it would have been awesome to be able to go to. (^_^) The few times I've used Google Chrome I loved it, my only complaint is that I hate ads & Firefox has the addblock add-on that fixes that really annoying problem. Hopefully these themes will be the beginning of a ton of new customization options leading to an eventual addblock like one. (^_^) *Crosses fingers* When that happens I might switch browsers. lol

Cool party and event, thx for sharing the pics ^^

Danny, you sure do have the life, don't cha?
Firefox is my main broswer after having several migraines and headaches from using internet explorer. :P

I used Chrome for 3 months or so after it launched in the US, but not being able to mass bookmark all open tabs and not always having it reopen my open tabs when it as closed made me go back to FireFox. Then I changed my OS to Linux and well Chrome does not run on Linux yet so still running FireFox.

GSC's Shiki figure on display just makes me more envious heheh. I want her!

Discovered chrome last January...been using it ever since...it's faster than firefox...but I still use Mozilla occasionally...but mostly it's for my friends who wants to use my notebook...and I prefer to save my password as I am so lazy to keep on keying my passwords and etc...for now I love both Chrome & Firefox...:D

I heard that in japan to receive/give business cards you need to follow a special process which includes special movements and phrases that have to be memorised earlier... is that true... ? O.o

Google Chrome is great, I have use it from 1 yearish ago... I change Firefox to Chrome since the launch in Sept 2008... And now I have the good smile company theme. Google Chrome Rocks...

I've been an avid Firefox user for quite some time now...would like to take a peek in Chrome though, especially after seeing the lovely themes and features. Tenori-On really looks cool too! Is it a new product just released in Japan or is it already available for purchase in other countries?

am i the only person on this planet not interested in getting a nendoroid Saber Lily?

Tried Chrome when it first came out but didn't like the auto updates that ran in the background even when I wasn't using the browser =/
Does it still run updates or get monitored in the background? might give it a try again if it's better about this issue [limited bandwidth, at least let me schedule it for off peak! orz...]

All that food looks sweet. Doubt you can have more than two without feeling the icing kicking in... Doesn't the drink lose its taste after eating some of it? ^^;

And I spy a typo. Shouldn't it be "janken" instead of "junken"? Although a junken (inspection) tournament would be good too I'm sure. Just imagine the fun people would have inspecting each other, lol...

As for browsers, I tend to stick to Firefox for its add-ons. It's kind of starting to feel bloated though and those add-on updates are getting a bit too intrusive.

On the Mac I use Camino when surfing around. Camino is a Mac only version of Firefox. Works really well with Power PCs. For health care purposes I use Firefox. It can handle lots of tabs without too much memory load. On Windows I use Firefox. Never wanted to try chrome, seeing as how it doesn't for with OSX 10.4, but I may give it a whirl on the PC.
Safari is total crap in my opinion. If you are using Safari, give Camino a try.

Never know there is Miku theme for Chrome but for 3.0 only. I think Chrome and Firefox are the same because they use the same sources. Get rid of IE for many years. Firefox is very good when I read pages with languages like Japan (Chrome can't identify ). But Chrome is very fast if you use a PC with Celeron Processor or lower. Using Safari only on iPod Touch

I don't use mac, but I like safari. I'll be honest and say that I actually haven't used Chrome before.

Oh, by the way, where's your theme Danny! (^_^)

I have tried Chrome, it's really fast. But Firefox has many good extensions so I'm staying with Firefox.^^

Aww, that's a cute Hatsune keychain. Won't stand a chance to win it though, if it's another guess the time quiz. ^^;

Wow that Tenori-on thingy is epic! I want one

do you think i can get one in england?

After reading about the artists theme thing I might give Chrome a chance.

Just downloaded it and playing with the options as we speak, I'm loving it!

Must you show your dollfie in that pose in multiple pictures? ^^

I can't tear my eyes away...its like a magnet and I'm totally disgusted with myself :D

Oh yeah, nice event!

***back to dollfie pictures*** damn....

Google chrome is the only browser I use, and have been using it ever since it was released. Dedication, oh yeah!

The event looked like a blast...and Tenori-on looks really amazing...although i still don't understand how it works....

HHmm, I have Chrome installed. I use it rarely. My main browser is FireFox.
If I can grab the Goodsmile Company theme for my chrome then I'd probably be using Chrome more often lol

The appetizers looks fun too eat. ^^'
I might give chrome sometime if I see a theme I really like. Till then, I'll stick with FF.

i love the new chrome themes!!!

I'll always use firefox because of the nice plugins that disable scripting and other various "evil" things people like to put on their pages. If Chrome ever starts having the same add-ons then I'll use it. I dispise IE so I uninstalled it in Win 7 ^^v

Saber Lily looks cute, mine is being held while the rest of my October orders come in. I like to save on shipping ^^;

Do want one of those keychains though lol, can't wait for that giveaway ^^

Great pictures Danny. That is a lot of chrome colored food.

Hey they incorporated flash! Sweetness~ i can finally use Chrome in osx. Goodbye Firefox~

I haven't tried Google Chrome. I may check it out some time to see what it's like.
Looks like it was a fun event, lots of food. I look forward to the giveaways.

Wow, thats a big chrome cake!!
1 year for chrome?? I havent used yet. ;)

I love Firefox, but wouldn't mind using Chrome over Internet Explorer anytime.

Hmm I heard Google Chrome before, still dunno a bit about it.

Tried Chrome but I installed FF 3 and liked it better then FF 3.5 came and liked it even more! lol.

I use chrome at work and even have the Hatsune Miku Theme...I think it's nice, but I'd still prefer Firefox over it...Chrome looks rather simple and there doesn't seem to be as much features for it for now...

By my point of view, that Tenori-on looks _really_ interesting. Would like to try one, =) looks stimulant. I want my little finger playing on it. ;P~
Stealing the video for my blog. =P

Whoa~! GumAlien Namecard! Sugoi~!

Guess I'm too used to using Firefox already.

Can't wait for the giveaways! =D

Wow, food looks good.

I've actually never used chrome before. I was told that it was very very fast.

wow! super cool~ I'm going to try google chrome ^^

I've been testing Chrome on my Macbook since yesterday - and I'm really amazed by the speed.

That food there looks pretty interesting! (Why am I posting? I should be sleeping! :P)

I absolutely love Chrome, is really fast for being only one year old! But the killer thing are the missing applications you can add in Firefox, like a xmarks which lets you synchronize your bookmarks and use them in all your computers, also you have a back up in a server in case if something happens. Had to learn the hard way and lose a couple of really good sites in Chrome, so switch back to Firefox for now.

Just installed chrome about 2 weeks ago on my new notebook and loved it the moment I use it.

All that coloured food and drink will get your head buzzing.

Google Chromeは動作が軽快で、Adress barから直接検索出来るので、UMPCで重宝させてもらってます。
しかし他のWeb browserと比べて、メモリを消費しやすいですね。それと凄い色のお菓子ですね。青という
色は心理的に食欲を減衰させる色なので、食べ物には不向きな色だと思うのですが・・・

Chrome is resource intensive, but I don't mind, since I think it's a great browser. However, it still has a few quirks, and whatever doesn't display on Chrome, I normally use IE to view.
I have Firefox on my dock, but I rarely use it. I saw both FF and Chrome, and I tried both. Sorry Firefox but Chrome won me over. :D

Couldn't you have gotten us some of the rainbow food e.g. the macaroons as a giveaway prize, Danny? ^^

I use CometBird(not sure if it's consider as Firefox since it work the same as firefox but have addition function) as main browser.

Chrome is nice to my laptop battery. All the stuff I have of Firefox keeps my CPU running forever.
I still like some of the addons of Firefox tho, so I haven't completely separated from it. But Chrome is nifty.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to work for Google. This & the amazing job benefits.
Using chrome as my main browser. Only things I like firefox for is the Greasemonkey support (which will one day come to Chrome) and plug-ins for games like Quake Live.
