in the guide Per goes over using chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) { }) to get the current tab but google is actually recommending window.location.href;
What is the advantage of using the more complicated method?

I'm thinking that the latter only works in the context of one page in the browser, but the former is in the context of the entire browser? Intuitively, the scope that a browser plug-in exists in is the whole browser, so a window variable wouldn't have meaning.
