How to disable on mac ?

[haeҳҳlor]

The hosts file is also on mac, this should help you with locating and editing:

Edit: remember to restart CS:GO for it to work


Before you do that, is the following launch option still working?
-no-browser
Nevermind, just tested it and it does not work.

You have to change the permissions of the file first.
Right click > Properties > Security
After editing you should change it back though.
