Google recently announced that the Chrome Experiments website reached an important milestone: it now has more than 1,000 experiments to offer.

To mark this joyous occasion, Google decided to redesign the Chrome Experiments website. On top of that, Google created a special experiment entitled Chrome Experiment 1,000. What it does is it visualizes every other experiment on the site.

A look back at Chrome Experiments

Google launched the Chrome Experiments website back in March 2009. Google explained at the time that it aims to showcase Chrome’s strength at running JavaScript and it invited programmers and developers to come up with interesting experiments and submit them. To give everyone a taste of what can be achieved with JavaScript, Google presented 19 experiments on the ChromeExperiments.com website.

An ever-increasing number of experiments

Five months after its launch, the Chrome Experiments website hosted more than 50 experiments. A year later, the website was home to 100 experiments. In September 2012, three and a half years later, the website had 500 experiments to offer. And as of February 2015, almost 6 years after the launch of the site, Chrome Experiments has 1,000 experiments to offer.

To mark this joyous occasion, Google released Chrome Experiment 1,000, "a celebration of the first 1,000 experiments submitted to ChromeExperiments.com by the creative coding community."

New tagline, new Chrome Experiments website

At launch, Chrome Experiments carried the tagline “Not your mother’s JavaScript.” Now, it carries a different tagline: “Creative code for the web.” The website doesn’t look the same as it did at launch either. To celebrate the fact that Chrome Experiments reached a major milestone, 1,000 experiments, Google decided to redesign the website.

“We’ve redesigned ChromeExperiments.com using Polymer,” said Valdean Klump, Data Arts Team. “It’s mobile-friendly, so no matter what kind of phone or tablet you have, or how you hold it, the site scales smoothly. If you’re on your phone, you can also filter the list to mobile-compatible experiments by selecting the Mobile tag.”
