    Default Internet Browser in Steam Games

    The following is a way to use an internet browser from within a steam game.
    Open up your Steam/Public folder.
    Open url_list.txt
    Replace %community%/profiles/%steamID%/home with www.google.com
    This will set your steam community homepage to Google.
    From there you can search any website in the search box and go there.
    If you want to actually use steam community, just search "Steam Community"

    Now we just need to find a way to reroute a download to the game server and I won't have to switch comps so much.

    But nice find. I find it kinda ridiculous that steam allows it, but they allow a lot of things, don't they >.>.

    I find it kinda ridiculous that they don't allow you to access all sites by default.

    Hmm what would I do with such a browser...

    Look up hacking while in a game?
    Look up pron for inspiration?
    ... Watch Naruto?

    Pfft, I dunno what all you people do! I probably wouldn't end up using the browser. I dont browser much tbh.
    The itarweb has left me. Or maybe I left it... mutual?

    I find the steam browser thingy to be very sloooooow.

    But dual screens + garrysmod windowed + "-noborder" in the start up options = win.
