Open in Steam is a Chrome extension designed to streamline your Steam experience. Instead of repeatedly logging into the Steam website, this tool adds a convenient button on most Steam webpages that, when clicked, opens the exact page directly in your Steam desktop client. This makes navigating Steam content faster and more seamless.

Created by a passionate developer, the extension aims to simplify interactions between the Steam web and desktop environments. Users are encouraged to report any bugs or issues on the project's GitHub issues page to help improve the extension further. Whether you're browsing games, community content, or store pages, Open in Steam enhances your workflow by bridging the gap between browser and client with ease.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open in Steam requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
