Google Analytics included ”Chrome” as a browser type in the list of detected browsers in your reports! All current and future visits will be labeled as such. Over the next few days, the visits from Google Chrome since its beta will be identified and updated to correctly show “Chrome” as the browser type for that period. You can fFind the report in: Visitors -> Browser Capabilities -> Browsers

If you want to detect Google Chrome, this user-agent should be helpful:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/XX (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/YY Safari/XX

For now, most services don’t detect Chrome, probably because Safari has a very similar user-agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/XX (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/ZZ Safari/YY
