What is the value of the user-agent string reported by the browser
that has chrome-frame enabled?

Thanks,

Yegor

Chrome Frame sends the UA string of the regular host browser, except
with the addition of the word "chromeframe" so that you can
distinguish clients that support GCF from those that don't on the
server side.

Any ideas how the presence of 'chromeframe' in the UA will be handled
by Google Analytics? Will it count as Chrome or or IE or some
combination thereof?

chromeframe means the userAgent is the IE one ... it's like asking if after a .NET Framework installation Analytics will count IE as .NET Framework ... if Frame is active the browser will be 100% WebKit so there's no point to store it as IE 'cause it is not :-)

Thanks. That's all I wanted to know.
