Without any flashy marketing campaigns or social media fanfare, Valve rolled out a routine Steam Client update containing a very simple line in the patch notes: “Improved Steam Client startup performance.”

Both of them are using a form of embedded Chromium to display the store, no? Is this really worth competing about then? xD

The Starcraft launcher goes under 1 second on a pentium 1, there.

    I had to work with embedded chromium once. It’s how I became a watcher on bug #126, which took 9 years to resolve. 9 years for “what happens when I click a link in embedded chromium” 🍿🤓

    Why wouldn't you just set the link to launch the user's browser, instead of expecting Chromium to implement special case behavior?

    That is the bug:

    What is the expected result?

    Open the link target in default browser, leaving SSB window on original site, thereby preserving desktop application illusion.

    What happens instead?

    Link opens in current window.

    Yes, but only for the store I think. There are also other game views you already own and other features too that is not displaying a store.
