Re: Opening pgAdmin 4 in a new browser window as an alternativeuser 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,
makeit 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
switchedto 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
browserto always open pgAdmin in the new window.

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