Have you tried using more than one browser?
that's what I've taken to doing, I have a separate install of Chromium just for pgAdmin4.  I've even changed the browser command to 
Load pgAdmin and/or a small number of secured things you want to stay logged in
for longer periods, while do your majority of activities or the ones you'd want
to clear your browser for in others.

I for example have Safari plus Firefox plus Chrome and compartmentalize my
activity between them, and they're all mutually isolated.
