Thread: Steam web browser

  1. #1

    Thumbs up Steam web browser

    I am amazed at how fast this browser is, it equals google chrome.

    I really love it, while gaming I can check the org, listen music etc. I'm currently writing this post in the steam web browser.

    What do you guys think about this browser?

    I think it's okay but not nearly good, I listen to music with Opera running in the background.
    I've used it now and again to look up a guide or so but it has often crashed as in disappeared.
    It also lacks tabs and some kind of favourites list, at least I haven't found either yet.
    Nice if you want to look up a guide for example without alt-tabbing but not anywhere near a replacement for a proper browser like Opera.

    Don't know about favourites but there are tabs.

    It's strange cos at one of my mates it isn't comparable to chrome, whereas to me the difference is almost nihil.

    For me opera never worked, my experiences were that it was slower than both firefox and chrome, but the interface was nice though.

    It's a pretty basic browser, it sometimes locks up the overlay for a few minutes if I'm using multiple tabs so I have to close the overlay and keep playing for a bit until the overlay works again and it has an odd habit of going back to the top of the page if I try to scroll using the mouse wheel. I never using it for proper browsing, but it's pretty handy for looking at guides, listening to music or looking at a link I've been sent in steam chat without minimising the game.

    I use chrome too, but in game the steam browser.
    This way you don't have to alt+tab which in some games mean crash or glitches.
