Hi, can you add option to show number of window too in addition to number of tabs in the toolbar

use case:

open up a new chrome window for a website with some links
open 10 links from that site
detach the original tab and close the window with the other tabs you just opened

expected result:

tab counter decrements by 10

actual result:

tab counter decrements by 1, sometimes 0

notes:

this is a random use case, I'm sure there are many. I've been using this parallel with "Tab Count" and "Tab Counter" for months with hundreds of tabs open at a time and probably thousands of tabs opened during the uptime of Chrome (I have to kill it weekly as it memfloods like crazy). Only "Tab Count" reports the correct open tabs number (currently showing 149), both "Tab Counter" and this ("Chrome Tab Counter") drift off (currently both showing 975)

It would be useful for command line and shell purposes to have the current number of tabs logged to a file somewhere. Is this feasible within chrome-tab-counter?

I've tried to determine this number directly from Chrome's "Current Tabs" file with Chromagnon, but its contents seem to fluctuate quite a bit for no apparent reason, and is generally off by +/- 40%. The number of chrome processes is somewhat useful too, but it's typically less than one process per tab so that doesn't work either. I've tried to get the number from chrome-tab-counter's local storage sqlite file, but it always shows me just 1 tab.

However, the extension's status display always seems to be correct. Can this be saved to a file periodically or each time it changes?
