I'm curious if there's a way to close extension windows too; like the Hangouts extension is opening windows that are in the Chrome app; even cmd+` will rotate through them. Not sure if I can tell if there's a URL associated though.

I do like the idea, but too bad that it fails in Safari when you have 10 tabs open that contains your condition. Chrome works flawless!
