I only give 1 star because I have tried installing this ext in all 3 logged-in chrome windows/profiles in 3 different accounts. and right click on any page of any opening window and nothing happens/shows to move the tab. there is no options to move those tabs, my question is that this ext is still up to date for latest chrome? or not functioning anymore? if I am wrong please reply for the correction, I can change my comment and star. thx

It actually works. You need the extension installed on BOTH profiles for it to work. I do my online banking etc on a seperate account, that is very secure and only used for one thing, this skips the headache and sends tabs right over. 4/5 as I would like to see this also in the right click context menu on tabs, right now the conterxt menu only displays if you click the page, and a hotkey to swap tabs would be cool. It can only read your email, and does not read site data, according the chrome extension manager.
