Chrome reported as Safari in Browser Stats Report

It looks like Chrome is being reported as Safari in the "Browser Stats" report in the Web Intelligence app. I think this is because Chrome's user-agent string includes the word "Safari":

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.6.872.0 Safari/535.2 UNTRUSTED/1.0 3gpp-gba UNTRUSTED/1.0

Is there a fix for this. I'd really like to get accurate browser utilization stats.

Thanks,
Mark

a bit late here but- there is a pretty simple fix for this. You need to edit the event type for ua-browser-safari so that it looks like the following:

(useragent="* Safari/*" AND useragent!="* Chrome/*") OR (useragent="Safari/*" AND useragent!="* Chrome/*") OR (useragent="*+Safari/*" AND useragent!="*+Chrome/*")

you can then create a new one called ua-browser-chrome whick looks like:

useragent="* Chrome/*" OR useragent="*+Chrome*"

hope this helps anyone else who searches and finds this answer
