Switches incognito tabs and links into normal tabs
Uncognito Extension
1. Allows the user to use a context menu option to open a link from an incognito tab in a normal window, much like the built-in option to open a link in an incognito window
2. Allows the user to use the extension button to switch a current incognito tab into a normal tab, while simultaneously closing that incognito tab
The normal tab will try to open in an existing normal window first, before creating a new window if none is available.
Note: the 'Allow in incognito' option for this extension on chrome://extensions/ must be enabled for this extension to work!
