Steam overlay bug causes it to become none functional seemingly permanently.
Long story short, clicked a download link, it opened in the steam overlay web browser.

Now, I can not interact with the steam overlay whatsoever. The browser is open in the overlay every time I open the game and can't close the tab with it. Relaunching the game, disabling and re-enabling the overlay, nor deleting all web browser data in steam fixes this issue.

It was not a malicious link to be clear. It's just a regular download link that has broken the overlay.

I can't find any way to change the setting that re-opens all the tabs, any way to close all existing tabs outside of the overlay, or any option seemingly to fix this issue.

If anyone knows any fix for this bug lmk.

Launching a different game then opening the overlay there then going back seemed to close all open tabs and fix it. nvm it worked once but can't recreate the fix

Still a bug that needs to be fixed.
