Re: Opening pgAdmin 4 in a new browser window as an alternative user flow

Thanks for the suggestion!. That is very useful, and would work for me as a personal custom configuration.

However, I have read some complaints in the mailing list about how pgAdmin 4 opens a web page in a new tab, unlike pgAdmin3. I do wonder if changing the default behaviour to open in a new window would possibly address those complaints, make it more similar to pgAdmin 3

As an aside, is there a generic command that does the default browser in a new window? I am using firefox now and have switched to and fro from Chrome. It would be convenient if there is a single command that applies for both browsers!

pgAdmin configuration window provides the way to set the browser options. You can set the appropriate command for your browser to always open pgAdmin in the new window.

Right click on the pgAdmin 4 taskbar icon (elephant icon) > Select Configure > Set the command for the "Browser Command" option.

I have attached the Chrome configuration for the new window for your reference.
