MySQL Workbench is probably the most feature rich MySQL browser, however it's not the most pleasant experience to use.

Navicat is another option, however it is paid and I think it might run under Wine, there are also tools such as PHPMyAdmin if you're a fan of web based tools - but it is a little dated.

I just tried sqlectron. It's not useful. It allows you to view and query a database. That's it. No features to add or change anything except for just using plain queries.

I am very happy with dbeaver. It's free and connects to a lot of things, for example, elasticsearch

I've tried them all, certainly every client mentioned above including Antares, RazorSQL, JetBrains' DataGrip and more... They all fall short in different ways.

After years of searching and testing, I can confidently say that DbGate is by far the best client I've tried. I cannot recommend it enough. And to top it off, it's free and open source.
