Steam is the most popular and used online video game platform in the world. In fact, it was the first to be launched on the market to distribute PC games in a different way than usual and, as expected, it succeeded in its business model, becoming a benchmark for which little by little new ones have emerged. competitors.
The Epic Games Store and GOG are some of the most popular and well-known alternatives to Steam, platforms that offer so much information related to video games that, sometimes, it becomes a real nuisance when we look for certain information, however simple it may be. Due to its operation and design, and to make it easier to interact with this platform, in the Chrome Web Store we can find different extensions to get the most out of it , extensions that will allow us to find out more easily about the best-selling games, titles most played, offers of the day and much more.
If we have been using Steam for many years, it is likely that the extensions that we show you below are of no use to us. But, if the use we make of Steam is sporadic and every time we look for an option or function we can’t find it, if we use Chrome, we can make use of the extensions that we show you below, totally free extensions that we can use both in the browser from Google as in Edge, Opera, Vivaldi and the rest of the browsers based on Chromium.
Augmented Steam
With Augmented Steam we can highlight the Steam titles that we already have in our library, those with DRM warnings or favorable scores on Metacritic, those that are WSFG certified for widescreens, show the price history of a game, know all the money that we have invested in this platform (something that can certainly be counterproductive). In addition, it also allows us to add notes to the games , sell products from our inventory, hide the titles called NSFW due to their adult or violent content, add all the DLCs of a game to the shopping cart, access to websites with more information related to the game. game that interests us and much more.
Steam Popularity Filter

Steam Inventory Helper
Some titles available on Steam allow us to access the game inventory without running it, Steam Inventory Helper being one of the best extensions to do so.

Steam Checker
The prices of the games available on Steam are not the best. On many occasions, we can find many games at cheaper prices in the Humble Bundle. If we regularly use both platforms and want to quickly compare prices , we can make use of the Steam Checker extension, an extension that highlights the titles that are available in the Humble Bundle and with which we can also directly access its tab to show the price and compare it. with the one you have on Steam.
Steam Context Menu
More than an extension for Steam, Steam Connect Menu is an extension that allows us to search Steam based on any text that we select. For example, if we want to find the current price of Grand Theft Auto V on Steam, we just have to select the text and use the extension to show us the corresponding tab on the Steam website. It also allows us to search for key offers for the title we are looking for, keys available only for Steam.
