Dave, That's true. Of course that's the ultimate draw back of the client/server model. Having *just* a server isn't enough, you need a *client* as well. pgAdmin4 is *just* the server portion of that model. It's relying on *borrowing* someone else's client. That's frees up quite a bit of resources, not having to write an actual client. Unfortunately that means you have to deal with all of the limitations; speed, footprint, compatibility, security, capabilities that that entails. Contrary to the thought in some circles, not *everything* is amenable to being served through a web browser.
just one man's opinion.
