Features & Capabilities

Steam Glance enhances web browsing by identifying links to Steam game pages and providing an immediate, interactive preview without needing to open a new tab.

Two primary ways of being activated:

Icon Hover: Automatically detects Steam links, whether they are clickable hyperlinks or just plain text, and places a small icon next to them. Clicking this icon opens the preview panel.
Context Menu Search: You can highlight any text on a webpage, right-click, and select "Search Steam for..." to find the game and open the preview panel for the top search result.

Key Features

The preview panel itself is the core of the extension and contains several distinct features:

Draggable Interface: The entire preview panel can be moved around the screen by clicking and dragging its header.
Media Carousel: The panel displays the game's header image, video trailers, and screenshots in a navigable carousel with left and right arrows.
Essential Game Info: Clearly presents the game's title, a short description, release date, and top genre tags.
Review Summary: Pulls the Steam review summary (e.g., "Very Positive") and displays it with color-coding.
Steam Pricing: Shows the current price on Steam, including any active discounts with the percentage off and the original price struck through.
Third-Party Price Comparison: The panel includes a small arrow that, when clicked, opens a side-panel listing cheaper prices for the game on other official stores like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming, powered by the IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD) API.

Is Steam Glance Safe?

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.

Steam Glance requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Steam Glance is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
