I know, I normally run two Firefox instances with different profiles plus a vanilla profile as needed.
The main reasons I use Chrome for my calibre server activities today, are a) visibility - I like having something unique on task bar that says, metaphorically at least, 'I am calibre server', b) I want the freedom to kill off all instances of Firefox without disturbing my Calibre Library/Evernote/Calibre Server trptych - and vice versa
The main reason I'm thinking of using something 'obscure' like Edge, Midori etc, is that I sometimes want to use Chrome for gadgets like Readium, and some sites just work better in Chrome.
The '-no-remote' option may not be suitable for me because I drive Chrome's access to calibre-server via commands embedded in Evernote notes.
A common scenario runs like this:
- Assume, I have my Main library open in the Calibre Library Manager and I have an urge to see what I have for the current book's Author in my Journals and Media libraries.
- So, I click on the author name in the Book Details sidebar, that opens that authors note in Evernote - because I slapped the relevant evernote note URI into the Author Link field.
- In the authors Evernote note there are links to commands that access that authors books (assuming there are any) on my three libraries, e.g.
Code:
%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
http://ip-address:port_number/browse/matches/authors/nnnn
- I click on the links to view the list of books for that author in the Journals and Media libraries. Note : the 'ipaddress:port number' identifies the library, and the 'nnnn' identifies the author - its the row number in the authors table
