#2What's the point of stating that "it's made in Japan"? I just don't get it. Does it have improved IME or CJK support? It's not like Japan is famous for its quality software to be honest.

It's just that they made it in Japan. No need to overthink it :)

Maybe for someone who prefers to buy made in Japan over made in China. A made in Europe sticker would definitely appeal to me more than a made in China. At least on products that are not mass produced from established brands.

#5I have been using it for months and it’s great. It’s like Vivaldi but with Firefox under the hood instead of Chrome.

Apple does this on every single one of its products, but not even from the nation its designed in, but the state!

I couldn't care less where my item is produced. It just so happens that a large variety of high-end products are produced at a higher level of quality (and cost, generally) in the West (including S Korea and Japan); but if someone introduced me to a Nigerian, Mexican, Thai, etc product that surpassed my current choice, I would switch in an instant.
I don't understand caring at all about the source, unless there is some fundamental moral hangup with it (such as blood diamonds, for instance).

I definitely have a preference for made in America, but that really only applies to physical products since there are strong associations with reputation and quality; the "country of origin" of software is far less well-defined in general, especially in the case of OSS.
