Every day, whenever I want to administrate my PG databases, I click the pgAdmin 4 icon in the Taskbar. This causes a splash screen to start loading for a very long time (if it's the first time since the computer was started for the day) and eventually opens my normal browser (Firefox, which I don't even like, but it's the least horrible one left) with a new tab for pgAdmin 4.
Now, even after disabling the "master password" stuff, I'm always forced to enter the password and pointlessly click the "remember" checkbox, only to be greeted with the same prompts every single day. This is because I (like any sane human) clears all browser data in Firefox many times a day. Which means pgAdmin 4 keeps forgetting the credentials, because it's piggybacking on Firefox and storing its settings in whatever manner Firefox does it, and then it's cleared constantly when I perform my routine privacy task. Even if it didn't do this, it would still be very awkward and bad for a multitude of reasons to have the database administration GUI as part of my normal web browser. It just seems fundamentally wrong to me. Whenever you need to restart the browser or clear all data/tabs, you lose your "state" in pgAdmin 4 and have to connect to it once again, starting all over. It truly cripples me. I get that it's *easier* for the developers to just ignore this fundamental problem, because they apparently don't use it themselves, or have very different "work flows", and everyone seems to be taking the "easy" way out these days, observable in virtually every aspect of life, but it doesn't make it less obnoxious for the user. At least for this user. I honestly have no idea who the pgAdmin 4 developers are, so it's nothing personal against them, but every day when I'm subjected to things like this, a certain hate grows within me toward whoever is responsible for making the bad decisions which affect me negatively. If the program had its own GUI and didn't harass me in all kinds of ways, I would instead constantly feel positive feelings toward the authors. The only reason I still care about pgAdmin 4 is that there is no alternative. I've spent countless hours researching the so-called "alternatives", and they all have some major show-stopper about them. This one at least feels like a "kind of" official project. I just wish it didn't make dealing with my PostgreSQL databases feel like such a chore.
