You can drag games and guides etc from Steam into a browser!

Just a fun item, as I've been on Steam for over 21 years and never seen this before. Literally just did it by accident (I miss clicked and dragged, with my browser and Steam open in split windows on the same screen).

Basically you can drag a game (from the Library list), guides, workshop entries, from Steam, into a browser window, and it will open the store page (for games), or the guide page, or workshop item in the browser.

Probably not all that useful, as you can also right click on some items, like guides, and open in a new tab within Steam itself. But I like to have a browser open on a 2nd monitor, most of the time, and I find reading things like guides to be easier outside of the Steam client itself.

Have fun all.

Glad it helped someone! I was like 'whut just happened!' when I did it (from my games list).

I then tested with guides, workshop items, my guess is it will work with most anything, as Steam is basically just a wrap around the Chromium engine (aka Chrome browser)..

Fun fact, you can also use your middle mouse button (clicking the scroll wheel) to open up a second steam browser page.

You can also drag some things into the steam chat for an embedded representation. Like items.
