Show HN: Chrome extension to enable toggling incognito and non-incognito windows

I've wanted to be able to have only one instance of my browser running, and one instance of an incognito browser running. For that, I wanted a keyboard shortcut that would toggle the lost Chrome window in the clutter of open windows I have.

In order to differentiate between the Incognito and the Regular Chrome window, I wrote this simple extension that adds a postfix to the title of Incognito tabs. This way, it's possible to recognize those windows from scripts (wmctrl, AutoHotkey).

It greatly improves my workflow, yet it's so simple, so I've decided to share it.

I've added in the README an example script I use on my Linux and Windows machines to toggle the browser windows using this extension :)
