OpenMyBrowser - gui.OpenURL now opens your browser
9 replies, posted
Hello,
To learn C++ and how to make modules I decided to tackle something I've never really liked, and that's the Steam browser. So I created OpenMyBrowser: a module that replaces gui.OpenURL with a function that opens your preferred/default browser.
The module has one cvar for the client which is [code]openmybrowser_use_my_browser[/code] which allows you to turn OpenMyBrowser on and off.
If you want to set up a bind for this, you can simply do:
[code]bind key "toggle openmybrowser_use_my_browser"[/code]
To toggle it with a key of your choice.

There is also developer documentation and functions you can use available on GitHub!
Enjoy

Thanks Verideth for the help with some stuff I was confused about :v:
This will go swimmingly with borderless windowed full resolution mode.

Would there not be security issues such as opening up a dodgy site? Not saying there could be, genuinely asking ☺

I would trust Chrome more than the Steam Browser :v:
If you're talking about general unwanted web pages (such as porn :v:) then it'd be the same situation with the Steam browser too.

Can you actually download stuff via Steam browser though?
THANK FUCK

No. I see this as a feature and not a security issue, you have to authorize most downloads on secure browsers anyway, and I can see you're using Chrome so you should be fine :v:
