There's usually more than just the word "error".

Error code: -108
Failed to load web page (unknown error) it says

Now you even quoted it and you STILL haven't answered my first question: Are you trying to access the store through the Steam client or a web browser?

I have the same problem as OP - when opening any page through steam client in the "Store" section it just prints " error code -108 failed to load web page (unknown error)". Library does kinda work but it doesn't show news or anything in games' sections. I have tried uninstalling and installing steam again bit it did not help. When I tried to open steam store from the browser it did work though.

Are you tryig via wifi or via cabled connection? Try the other to what you're using and see if it changes.

Also if you can try this:
Start Windows in Safe Mode with Networking. ONLY open Steam and if you can view the store page then it would suggest it's some software on your PC causing the issue and then down to tracking down what it is.

If it still doesn't work it's likely something outside of software, like your connection, cabling, ISP etc.

is it since the last steam update ?

I have the same problem too. Haven't tried safe mode and will try in a few but to answer some questions, it's the store from the steam client AND the browser. Error in browser is just "This site can't be reached". Error in client is already mentioned above.

I wanted to uninstall-install but then I found out that I can't access steam via browser so no way to reinstall.

Tried deleting almost everything in steam folder to force it to update and it did redownooad everything but the error persists. Tried clearing download cache and browser cache, flushed dns both for steam and general... Almost every troubleshooting step found online actually lol.

I'm on a PC, wired. Posting this from my mobile (connected to the same network via wifi) cause I can't log-in to community via browser. I can comment via steam client though.

If anyone has additional possible fixes, pls post so we can try, TIA!

Error -108 in CEF refers to "AddressInvalid", which means the IP address your Steam client received from your DNS server was something nonsensical like 0.0.0.0.

It's possible this happened due to a network hiccup.

On Windows, you can try WindowsKey+R and then typing

ipconfig /flushdns

and pressing enter. A black window will briefly pop up indicating that the DNS cache has been cleared, which will make your computer look up the address of Steam again.

I've done this... also manually set my DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as advised in some websites.

The safe mode still didn't load the steam store... as to whether this is since the last update... I honestly have not logged in to the PC since September of last year so irdk

Both firefox and chrome couldn't load my steam store
Chrome says "This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://store.steampowered.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID"
Firefox says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at store.steampowered.com.
If you entered the right address, you can:
Try again later
Check your network connection
Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

They are both able to load plenty of other websites and I'm now commenting from my PC so it's probably not the connectivity. I'm not sure though...
