See https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.11/getting_started.html (and the relevant child pages on Server and Desktop deployment) Desktop vs. Server mode is not about the whether you access pgAdmin through a browser or not, but whether it's configured for running on a single user's desktop or on a web server that may be accessible to multiple users (or people who should not be using it at all; e.g. other people on the same LAN) > > rik. > > On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 4:45 AM Dave Page <dp...@pgadmin.org> wrote: > >> Hi >> >> On Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 8:50 PM richard coleman < >> rcoleman.ascen...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> (sorry about the last missive - continued) >>> >>> On Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 3:38 PM richard coleman < >>> rcoleman.ascen...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Darren, >>>> >>>> On Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 3:03 PM Darren Duncan <dar...@darrenduncan.net> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> 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.
