the current version of steam is a huge piece of♥♥♥♥♥♥ the chat, the missing settings, the big picture button that some mentally challenged creature decided to put there despite no ever using that♥♥♥♥♥♥... and so on and so forth. Many idiotic things that just shouldnt be.

Thanks, will try out shortly. And yeah thats fine, i was perfectly fine with steam client as it was a year ago, fnot a single new feature that i use was added since then, only downgrades in my eyes.
