It was working fine, they just completely broke it, why?
I don't use IE (yeuch), but it is used by some apps for the steam login component.

What apps would that be?

It only accesses what you tell it to, in your settings, afaik. If it's some in-game thing, then yeah that'd be different. You can tell the steam client what browser you want to use, though.

I've heard that Edge is passable, but still I won't touch anything they make with a fork. not that the current run of firefox updates has been much better :( I won't go to chrome, I love playing my flash games and the lack of attention to that aspect of internet browsing is more than enough to turn me off of browsers that openly diss flash.

since a year discontinued card farm tools.

Is that a Steam process? If not, it's the site / app's issue.

Edge is IE successor. Internet Explorers HTML5 support it crap so that is what is causing most of your issue.

I have heard tons of people complain about Internet Explorer the last week so something must have changed somewhere, I am suspecting it might be caused Windows update KB4088776 since it addresses some issues with Internet Explorer and Edge.

But you shouldn't be running IE in 2018 anymore. Get Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, anything that is not Internet Explorer.

CardIdleRemastered was working fine until the IE login was broken. ASF and Idle-Daddy are not discontinued. IdleMaster has ceased development but was also working ok until the IE login was broken.

It's nothing to do with windows updates because I mostly don't touch them with a barge pole these days until their confirmed as essential security updates only.

Last week IE login was working fine. Nothing changed on my windows machine. Valve did change the login though and they clearly broke it. When I try to log in in IE it now throws up errors where it didn't before.

Do you know what a DLL is? Do you know what a browser is?

Tons of people are having this issue and not only on Steam.

Internet Explorer is the issue.

Do you know what a Steam-approved or steam-sold app is?

I don't think you do.

Just because Steam changed something - and it may very well have broken your non-steam approved app - doesn't mean that they're in any way responsible for fixing your specific problem.

If something inside the Steam system has actively been changed, and has broken this app, *the creators of the app* are responsible for altering their code. Just like Fallout modders and Half Life modders have had to do for many years, every time a game update or engine change has occurred, they have to go back and fix their mods. And many simply don't have the time or patience to keep doing that.

Valve write scripts for browsers so that people can browse steam store and their profiles etc. Valve have changed their scripts and the login no longer works, the browser didn't change, the scripts did, so it is Valves mess-up. If Valve want to lose customers then that is their choice, less people browsing the store is less people buying games and less money for Valve, it wouldn't be a very clever business decision to exclude customers.
