Highlights

• Divide-and-conquer tabs with windows that you name by topic, task, project... anything you wish.
• Your windows presented as a list of names – easy to glance, filter, and interact with both mouse and keyboard. An interface meticulously designed to be as intuitive as possible.
• Core functions – naming windows, switching windows, moving tabs between windows – are a click away.
• Spoils you with two ways to move tabs between windows: send and bring. Bound to Ctrl and Shift keys as well to predictably modify certain actions.
• Private window support: Tabs normally cannot move between private and normal windows, but Winger can automatically reopen them in windows you send/bring them to.
• Minimized windows are grouped at the end, adding an additional dimension to window organisation. (For MacOS users, this aligns with MacOS's more meaningful treatment of minimized windows).
• Right-click on a tab or a link on a page to get the Send to Window menu as another way to send/bring tabs.
• Just remember one keyboard shortcut to open the panel (default: F1), and type memorable slash commands in the panel omnibox for various functions.
• Stash windows you want to save and close; unstash them anytime. Windows are stashed as bookmark folders, so they are accessible outside Winger and even between devices via bookmark syncing.
• More comprehensive information and lots of tips in Winger Help!

Is this like tab groups? Why manage windows?

Tab grouping is a popular tab management approach that has seen many implementations. Winger belongs in the same space but without the wheel-reinvention: instead of introducing a made-up tab collection context, you just use windows, the efficient and original "tab groups" that also delivers all the familiar features provided by your browser and OS (and any third-party window management tools). Winger simply adds a few more features that remove friction and key limitations.

So yes like tab groups, but IMHO better. Window management done well begets viable tab management.
