Just because steam has some kind of browser, its shady if they use your standard browser, well, as you choosed?
First think, before giving things names.
If you do not understand that when I am logged into the Client, using the Client's internal browser, and I expect theinternal navigation link to link me INTERNALLY, using the INTERNAL browser, not opening an unexpected external page to show me a news annoucement or changelog post after an update, is EXPECTED behavior, Opening an EXTERNAL LINK is unexpected and something that malwayre or viruses can cause. And should not be happening on a computer that scans virus-free and malware-free using deep scans and eliminating heuristics.
Opening an external browser window is NOT expected behavior, and NOT something Steam did before, this behavior only starting within the last few days to a week in the "Stable" Client.
First, think before posting nonsense responses to actual concerns.
They either changed the way the links redirected or it is a bug. We still don't have word on this.
Knowing Valve, probably the former.
Thank you, greatly appreciate the helpful response.
A nonsense response is something else.
In your post it sounded like as a link posted or a link not leading to normal client things. Which is normal to be opened by your browser that you choosed.
What is an example of the behaviour you found to be new?
If I click for example a link under EuroTruck2 game starting page, it opens external webbrowser and not Steam own news page as it did earlier.
But, in the mean time, if I open the feedback page (dont know what it is called in english), under my username, and I have that same news showing up in the feedback page, now it opens the proper Steam browser page.
@IFIYGD, could you test if the latter is happening to you too? That could maybe confirm that it is a bug.
This is quite annoying bug, because Im not following every game I have, and because of that, I do not get all the news to my newsfeed. It means, I cant comment for example patch announcements because I would need to login to Steam at the webbrowser page, and that is what I will not do.
In this calm form, without throwing random words like virus around, it shows something is wrong then.
You, in you infinite wisdom, as a layperson and NOT a Valve Mod, Support Employee, or employee of any kind, decided to skip on in and strat posting nonsense, and telling me and others how to speak, what word to use, how to use them, ,blah, blah, blah. You ARE NOT helping. You ae TROLLING and just trying to fan flames. Go back to whatever bridge you came out from under, and let people who have experienced the same unexpected behavior compare notes. Without having you standing on the sidelines throwing greasy french fries at everyone.
Take your indignant self-righteous Steam fanboi-ism elsewhere.
Yes, that is exactly the same behavior, if by feedback page you mean ypour activity feed. Links from that Community section work as expected. The same exact link, shown in my games library under "Recent News" or in a posted News Annoucement by a game developer or studio will open an external browser, which is not expected behavior.
And this behavior began happening after a rather large updatewhen launching Steam on my machine, waiting for the sign in window. Not the usual small, fast update Steam does, to update the Store or Community Home page. But a large update to the Client. But since Steam makes finding changelogs for the Stable Client next to impossible to do, I have no idea what was in that update that may have caused this chage in behaviors.
You have the ability to fill random stuff into posts, and then the bit you want to tell.
If you report a bug, no one cares what sites you visited in the past and how they opened new windows because you did not make the right settings in your browser, or what you think about other people or what names you call them.
Internal links seem to not open always in the client anymore.
That is the bug.
One sentence. And give an example.
The rest is random stuff.
