Steam’s handy, no doubt about it. But it just got made handier, with Valve today rolling out in-game web browsing to users of the service. Just hit shift+tab, and you’ll see a “web” button.
The browsing (first appearing as a beta last month) was added as part of a larger Steam client update, which also includes the following:
– Fixed games list scrolling behavior with pageup/pagedown and mouse wheel
– Fixed GTA4 backups not restoring correctly
– Fixed several cases where matchmaking would not work in Left 4 Dead in using Cafe accounts
– Changed Friends to be enabled for Cafe accounts
– Removed ‘view invites’ dialog on startup, now clicking on a group/user invite toast will take you directly to the Community control page
– Fixed guest passes not showing immediately in games list
– Fixed case where a user would be told a guest pass had expired after they had bought the full game
– Improved Steam Windows Service restart logic in serveral places
