Downloads in Incognito mode happen in the background rather than the current window #43

Hi! Thanks for the great script/extension – been using it for a while.

Would it be possible to make it so that, when using the extension in Incognito mode, the files will download in that same window (i.e. so that the download bar appears at the bottom of that Incognito window)? Currently, clicking the button on a page open in an Incognito window/tab instead downloads the files via another normal (non-Incognito) Chrome window – and causes the download bar to appear there – rather than the current/active window. This can make it hard to tell if a file actually downloaded or not.

@mittya Hi, if you have time could you explain the reasoning behind this decision? Thank you so much – really appreciate the helpful extension!
