Some viruses modify the hosts file to redirect traffic to fake sites. Restart the computer, and try to open websites that was not loading Solution 3: Checking the Hosts File Open the Command prompt with administrator privileges and run the command: netsh winsock reset browsing.Try to reset the TCP/IP network stack settings to standard. I don't get why you're intent on dismissing the idea of fixing just because you (wrongly) think the steam browser isnt meant for. Obviously valve has made a change that created the bug, and OP's intention is to have them find out, so they can fix said bug. What they want to know is, why does reddit no longer work on the steam browser when just a week ago, it worked perfectly fine. Hey bud, I know you're really keen on informing people of the intended purpose of the steam browser, but people here don't care to know.

Steam didn't use this for this reason so they didn't update it in that accord. So what you're not understanding is the reason it worked before and not now is because things update. Yes it's a valid question to ask.īut it's also a valid answer to point out fact isn't it - that this "broser" was designed as I said - to offer functionally for games with web based parts to them. It's a valid and reasonable thing to ask why the browser is less functional now and whether it will be fixed. It worked before and it doesn't work now. Originally posted by chicken nugget:But just because they exist doesn't mean this is one of them. You know how if you're in a game and it says something like "click here for info"? yeah, that sort of thing. It was designed as a means to display web based stuff that links from in game. So present your evidence to the contrary please. That doesn't mean "hey this means it's a fully fledged browser" - that's one hell of a leap of faith. It has google as it's start page probably because it has to have SOMETHING.

#Reddit not loading how to
Was that some clever plan on how to deceive people while making a browser thats not really a browser? I seriously dont understand why, if they didnt intend to make it a browsing tool, they gave it browsing capabilities that invite you to use it as a browser by default and even called it "internet browser" as in overlay button. Originally posted by crunchyfrog:Nope, I'm pointing out that this is not what it's designed for, because that's fact. Sorry, but really? It has google as its startpage, so it wasnt designed as a tool for searching while ingame, because you know, they did the browser for people not to browse, and to discourage us from googling and opening search results they've put google as its start page instead of making current game workshop or something like that a start page and then hiding the navigation elements like an address bar. I most certainly am not, no more than a history teacher teaching kids about the Second World War must threfore be a nazi. I wish people wouldn't assume that because I say something I'm either making excuses or defneding something. Doesn't mean I agree with it or anything. Nope, I'm pointing out that this is not what it's designed for, because that's fact.Īll I'm doing is saying that you would be better off using another because that's salient advice. Originally posted by 👽Boomer👽:That feel when STEAM messes up once again, and you have people arguing why you are even using the inbuilt browser with the overlay provided with every Game on the platform and that a standalone Browser is better.Īlmost like there is an inbuilt Browser, so you don't have to alt+tab out of Games which causes issues with certain Games when you need to look something up and considering it worked for most of the while when Steam decided not to break something yet again.
