Will the extension be adapted to the v3 manifest? I can't imagine my daily work without it.

It works. This is useful for web developments, to test cookies without messing up with the regular browser window

Nice extension. I've configured it to automatically open all my banking websites in incognito mode, so they can't be interfered with other extension (which are blocked by incognito mode). Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the new incognito tab doesn't open maximized, and there's no option to enable this. Please fix this dev (provide: state: maximized in chrome.windows.create).
