If you edit the cfg file for the Steam Community you can go on the web with any game the supports Steam Community. You can change it to any url you want but Steam blocks you from entering a url so this is the only way. I was trying this out and I was laggy while using it in TF2 but it could just be my pc or TF2. And it does not have Flash or seem to work with GMail.

Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\Public and open url_list.txt

Change this part:

SteamIDControlPage
{
url "%community%/profiles/%steamID%/home"
method "community"
}

To this:

SteamIDControlPage
{
url "http://google.com/"
method "community"
}

Team Fortress 2. It's a game available on Steam.

Me and Holz found a way back in Dec/January to do it. It does nothing to do with that and can't be patched by Valve, though.


And it does not have Flash or seem to work with GMailHuh? I was able to browse YouTube and 'stuff' ingame. You just have to click for the frame to change.

(you have to do this INGAME aswell - not just at the menu - since the Flash ingame stuff is loaded for the MOTD of the servers, and will work in the Steam Community once the MOTD has been displayed. Well, thats my best guess anyway)
