About SteamLink - Open Links In Steam
This extension, when clicked on a steam url, will open it in the steam destkop application. No more issues with being signed out in the browser or anything of the like!
If you're curious how this works, it's pretty simple - it simply prefixes the url with "steam://openurl/", so the url "https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/" becomes "steam://openurl/https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/", and then if you allow the extension to open the url with steam, steam will open to that page!
