[Bug/Removed feature] Can't hide URL anymore
You used to be able to hide a page's URL via the settings. That option seems to be gone now. I can't find it anymore and I now have the URL on the forums, on my own profile and etc.

Are you on the new client? If not, update. Either way, 3-4 years ago Steam started to force the URL to be displayed on the top left, for most pages on Steam. After a while they added an option to hide it, since it's ugly and worthless, if I wanted to know the URL I'd copy the page URL via right-clicking the page.
Now that URL is displayed again and there's no option to turn it off.

I refuse to update until I must, even still I still dont understand the URL part. do you mean steam now shows URL bars on each page? (because the UI I have doesnt show URL period, I cant even get it to show if I want it to) or do you mean URL posts? what exactly do you mean with URL

It's not that big, but still ugly. I also can't remember if it reduces the height of the displayed page, but yes.
If your UI doesn't show a URL you have it turned off and/or they removed it. But I think it's the former. I saw the option just a few months ago.

Edit: Focus is lost too now, when tabbing back into the client's window. Before Steam would retain things like you typing in a text window or shortcuts like F5. Now I gotta click the Steam window for it to accept an F5 press for example. Christ, this is just a buggy update.
