• probably you are using a nightly build of Chrome, and may be they are using this google_experiment_mod: "335" – Murtaza Khursheed Hussain Commented Nov 23, 2015 at 7:26

google_experiment_mod is used by Google AdSense for experimenting with which advertisement perform best on a website. Please refer to “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites”.

I have that too under the web inspector, but only on certain sites. I use mac and I am using Safari. I also found while searching "experiments" in the resource content on the google homepage something that says "dnssec-nd.gexperiments1.", so I'm guessing that "gexperiments" means "googleexperiments" , and its probably something google uses to track everyone's time or something like that. so its probably nothing.
