User Reviews

Users praise Steam URL Opener for adding a Steam icon in the URL bar that opens links directly in the Steam client and solving a common annoyance. It generally works on Firefox (as of early 2025) and is considered very useful. However, several reviews report the extension no longer works or has become broken, suggesting reliability can vary over time. Some mention setup quirks or blockers, but when functional it provides a convenient shortcut to the Steam client.

Pros

Adds a small Steam icon button in the URL bar that opens Steam links in the Steam client.
Works as advertised and generally opens Steam links in the Steam client.
Very useful and solves a common annoyance of Steam links opening in the browser instead of the client.
Works on Firefox as of February 2025.

Cons

No longer works / frequently broken in updates (reported by multiple users).

Is Steam URL Opener 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 URL Opener requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
