Unable to link YouTube account to Steam (Solved)

[Noborus]

Google keeps preventing me from linking my YT account to Steam.
When I try to do it from the Steam Client, Google tells me that the "browser or app may not be secure".
When I sign in to Steam on a different browser and try to link my YT account there, I get this error after selecting an account to link on Google's page:

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

If I select a Google account that has 2 or more YouTube channels attached to it and then select one of the channels, I get this message instead:

Something went wrong
Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again.

When I try to link my YT account through Steam's mobile app (Android), clicking on one of the channels associated with the Google account that I signed into will do nothing. Clicking the button changes nothing, and takes me nowhere.

Solved

I was able to link my account on the Chromium browser. My Firefox and Brave might have had some kind of extension that was causing it. I disabled uBlock, but that didn't work, so maybe it was a different extension. Thank you to everyone who commented.

There was some server issues on Steam today, you may want to try again using a real browser a bit later.

Client doesn't work been that way for years.

You MUST use a browser to do this from, open your chrome, firefox, or etc browser you're using, and do it from there.

I was trying it yesterday too, but I figured it would have been fixed by now if it was Steam's servers. I'm aware that Steam has server maintenance every Tuesday, but it usually doesn't last multiple days. Regardless, I'll try again tomorrow to see if it works. Thank you.

I tried it on both Firefox and Brave, and it did not work on either. Please read the rest of the original post for more details.

Yeah didn't see anything on that, all I saw about using steam app.

If still not working tomorrow then not sure what else can do.

There was some unscheduled downtime an hour or two ago as well.

Ah, I didn't know that. Hopefully everything is fixed by tomorrow.

It still does not seem to work. At this point, I don't think it's a problem with Steam's servers, so I'm going to try contacting Steam support. Thank you guys for your help.
