Indicate Chrome profile color within the window list in the menu bar dropdown

[Rich Simm]

If you work with multiple windows using multiple Chrome profiles (work groups, personal, etc.) it can be difficult to recall which window is which profile when looking at the Window dropdown in the menu bar:

Is there a Chrome Extension that can indicate the browser window color (if different) for each profile on the Window list? 

Something like either in the check mark gutter:

Or the entire row highlighted:

If there is no extension, how complicated would this be to build?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts (and yes, I know there are other ways to see multiple browser windows simultaneously, e.g Ctrl + Down Arrow on Mac, but humor me here. :D )

Hi there,

In Firefox there is an API called "menus", that can create this menu item in the Apple menu bar. See this documentation web page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/menus

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/08/10/webextensions-firefox-56/

Unfortunately, it only works in Firefox and not in other web browsers such as Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.

Thanks,

Stefan vd

Thanks Stefan! Hopefully there may be something for Chrome soon.

Hi there,

You are welcome!

There is so much inconsistency in the browser extension platform. As I develop my browser extensions for more than 12 years on all platforms that include Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Maxthon, Naver Whale, Yandex, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.

Thanks,
