This xml extension worked compared to other similar extensions. But it is not working in "Incognito Mode". Tried enabling in the settings "Allow in Incognito" and restarted the chrome. Still it is not working in Incognito Mode. Is it a bug or any suggestions?

This is really fantastic. The only thing I'd like to have is line numbering but otherwise near-perfect.
