How to view openserverbrowser for dedicated servers
So after search, I've done the following
1. Enable dev mode
2. Enter 'openserverbrowser' at console
But this doesn't show anything on 'Internet' tab.
On 'Custom' tab, it only shows custom servers. It doesn't say anything about 'Valve' related in the server names or whatnot. Is there no way to find official servers this way?
It'd be faster to browse servers this way than go to home screen every damn time.

the server browser was never properly implemented. It has a lot of bugs and even bypasses some restrictions. I'd advise not using the browser to join games because it is likely you will accidentally join someones private match.

Plus the home screen categorizes servers based on mode, difficulty, not being full, and on your region compared to the needle in a haystack that is the serverbrowser.

The browser should only really be used to find empty servers to join via dedicated force command in a lobby.

I think you can sort it based on server name. I ever found lots of Valve server names when sorting that way. But it usually lists the Valve servers close to your region, like for example for me, most of the time it shows Asia & Hongkong servers.

All servers are "custom" now, official Valve servers show under this tab. Sure, it allows access to friends-only games, but most of the time the talentless numptys you join need help anyway.
