According to Google's own documentation, the Useragent for Chrome looks 
like:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html#useragent

Analog recognizes this as Safari/525.

You'd have to modify the Analog source and recompile it to identify 
Chrome as a seperate browser, I think, but I don't have a copy of the 
source to hand to see what would be involved.
