tutiluren, I think you’re being a little thin-skinned here. I don’t think he was accusing you of misusing the browser,
butI think you should admit that the root of most of the problems being described here is the necessity of clearing
yourbrowser history often, due to bad players who take advantage of the browser history to do bad things — that’s not
thefault of the pgAdmin4 developers. But it is one factor in deciding whether to use a browser-based UI. There are many
factors,such as the number of platforms they want to support, and the limited programming and testing time available
forall of these platforms. Every solution has it’s downside, so don’t act as though they made the only choice that
wouldinconvenience you.  

I believe you would have the option of using one browser for outward browsing, and clearing it’s cache and history as
oftenas you want, and using another one for pgAdmin4 (and whatever apps you trust) where you don’t clear the browser
everyday. Or maybe you can use a browser that is more secure than the usual suspects (I believe they exist do not have
anypersonal experience with them). Or maybe you can help organize complaints to those who build the insecure browsers
tomake them more secure. And certainly, putting your two-cents in about their UI choice in pgAdmin4 is also certainly
withinyour rights. But don’t act as though they made their UI choice in order to upset you, or that they don’t care
thatyour workflow is cumbersome because of decisions they made. It’s just that the reasons they had for deciding to be
browser-basedprobably outweigh your inconvenience. And you can always vote with your feet.
