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.com", 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.
