Steam In Game Web Browser Final Released



Valve quitely rolled out the final version of their in game web browser in a steam client update today. The browser was in beta last December.

A web tab will now appear in the bottom of your in game client. Full patch notes below:

* Updated game overlay web browser to support generic web browsing, including web sites that use flash

* 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


Great feature. No more alt tabbing to browse.
