Adding the same browser to Steam a second time (on Steam Deck)

[ASHERZ7617]

I've only had my Deck a week so still learning. I've already added Chrome and Edge to Steam when setting up XBOX Cloud and GeForce Now but I wanted to add Chrome once more so I could add Boosteroid but not been able to do so. Tried going into the Steam client and adding a non-steam game that way aswell as finding Chrome in the application launcher and adding it that way but hasn't worked. Is it not possible to do this? or does anyone know if there is a way to work around it?

solution: add a shell script file, make it executable, then add the script to steam.

If you are comfortable with editing files on linux it is possible. I am not going to teach you how to use linux in a forum. you can look that up or get a tech friend to help if you dont already know a little linux.

Here is an *EXAMPLE* linux command to run from the Konsole to create a shell file that will run chromium in kiosk mode and start on https://disneyplus.com If you want something different, then modify as needed (for example run chrome instead of chromium)

note: this is a very long single line instruction...

printf '!#/bin/bash\ncd /usr/bin && flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chromium --file-forwarding org.chromium.Chromium @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --kiosk https://www.disneyplus.com --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --no-first-run\n' > disney-plus.sh && chmod u+x disney-plus.sh

If you dont know what the above is doing, get a linux person to help. never run scripts someone gives you without knowing what they are doing in detail.

after running the above command you will have a file "disney-plus.sh" which you can add to steam. return to gaming mode. then run the disney-plus from steam and you will have a full screen kiosk that give you disney+!
