Check if page is in Iframe for Google Chrome

I have tried many properties of window to see if a page in an iframe can tell if it is in an iframe. I have tried:

if(top.location!= self.location) //doesn't work in Google Chrome
   alert("I am in an iframe!")

And this doesn't work (works on all browsers but Chrome). I am writing a userscript for Firefox and Chrome but Chrome really doesn't behave. Is there a way to tell if Chrome can detect if its page is in an iframe?

window.frameElement is supported in even the most ancient browsers. It identifies an iframe, embed, or object in which the current window is embedded. 

if(!!window.frameElement){
  //code to be executed if we are in an iframe
}

This works for frames I would assume it also works with iFrames

if (top === self) { 
  // no frame
} else { 
  //frame 
}
