Sobre esta extensão
Divide-and-conquer tabs with windows that you name by topic, task, project, anything you wish.
Highlights
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 new 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.
Can I use another window naming extension with Winger?
You probably don't need another one, but if you insist, here's how.
FYI, you can use the /extractallnames command (see /help for more info) to copy over names from the title prefaces set by another extension, then you can remove that extension.
Can I use a vertical/tree tabs extension with Winger?
Not a bad idea, if your windows still often end up being full of tabs.
Note that some extensions (like Tree Style Tab) may apply automatic behaviours to actions (including Winger's) that you might not expect at first; e.g. when you send/bring a tab that has "descendants", all those tabs would also come along with it. Do check their settings and documentation.
Can I use a tab grouping extension with Winger?
Absolutely. However, if the tab grouper works via a tab hiding mechanism, Winger's stash feature cannot preserve the simulated "tab groups", and it stashes all of a window's hidden tabs as though they weren't hidden (i.e. ignores the "hidden" tab property).
Hopefully someday when Firefox implements a native tab group API, Winger can easily support stashing them.
Is Winger's stashing like the Tab Stash extension?
They are similar, both being bookmarks-based, but diverge significantly in approaches to state/property restoration and UI/UX. You can use them together, even integrate them by making Winger's stash home folder be the same as the Tab Stash folder (in Winger settings, set the root to "Other Bookmarks" and subfolder name to "Tab Stash").

Highlights
- Just remember one keyboard shortcut to open the panel (default: F1), and type memorable slash commands in the panel omnibox for various functions e.g. /help.
- Core functions – naming windows, switching windows, moving tabs between windows – are a click away.
- Move tabs between windows in two ways: send and bring. Bound to Ctrl and Shift keys as well to predictably modify certain actions.
- Right-click on a tab or a link on a page to get the Send to Window context menu as another way to send/bring tabs.
- 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 bottom of the panel, adding an additional dimension to window organisation. (For MacOS users, this aligns with MacOS's more meaningful treatment of minimized windows).
- Stash windows you want to save and close; unstash anytime. Stashes preserve certain details such as pinned tabs, tab trees and containers.
- Stashes are stored as bookmarks in folders, so they are accessible outside Winger and even between devices via bookmark syncing.
- More comprehensive information and lots of tips in Winger Help!

Comentários do desenvolvedor
- An API for your addon to talk to Winger is available
- [23 Jan 2023] Winger 2.0
- FYI as of this update I have 29 windows / 1122 tabs open, organically (and with a tab unloading addon active). So definitely, continuously, dogfooded and stress-tested!
