Google has launched a new Chrome extension.

According to the TechCrunch web site, the new Chrome User Experience Surveys extension will sometime pop up surveys about the user's experience to improve Chrome when something odd happens in the browser.

Google said that the survey will not pop up more than twice a day and a total of four times per week, so the noise should remain relatively low. The survey will take only about two minutes to answer.

For users who do not want to install this extension because they are worried that the company tracks their browsing habits, the company has said that it is not monitoring their browsing history through the extension.

Google was quoted as saying that the only data the extension sends to it is when infrequent events occur and their survey responses.

Google also noted that all of the feedback will remain anonymous. The new extension is available in the Chrome Web Store.
