those webhelpers have been there for years, they didnt just show up because of said feature.

before said feature, mine would show anywhere from 6-10 webhelpers, more show up the more features you use, the less features opened when starting the client, the less webhelpers you see.

that said, i welcome the new feature, it means i dont need other separate programs, to see said info, saving me some performance and space.

have a nice day :gk_smile:

amazing human beings, very intelligent and remembering years very good. Enjoy extra spagetti coding effectively does nothing.
That;s just how Chromium works. You see the same in other Chromium based programs. The client in essence is a gigantic browser and every tab and part of it have their own process. This is there so that if there is an issue somewhere it will not crash the whole program.

As said, that's been for years. In the past people didn't notice it because all those webhelpers were grouped under the Steam process in task manager. Nowadays they're shown individually.

simply said, it's not new, not even remotely close to it. The added webhelpers are ok in that regard.

And NOW they can't be disabled, they destroy performance. I got like -%40 performance loss on the same games, it's incredible. Keep on doing gods work steam.

yep, quite amazing indeed and very intelligent, thanks.

what spaghetti coding?

the feature works quite well and they recently added it, more improvements to come.

as for webhelpers, well its done on most browser based software, i personally dont like it myself, but its there and aint going anywhere, but the main reason i dont like it much, is they havent improved as quickly as one would like, some seem to end up with memory leaks, or simply use more memory, but...

fyi, those webhelpers help to split up functions throughout the browser, effectively making things run smoother, instead of being handled in single threads, thus alleviating background tasks.

if you want to learn what webhelpers are used for, you can look it up on the internet.

side note: firefox for me currently has 15 webhelpers (i only have 2 tabs open :cqlol:) .... i dont use chrome or others, but its likely the same, be lucky steam doesnt have the same, or more.

press x to doubt.

40% seems quite an exaggeration, to me.

disable the feature, restart steam client, poof, less webhelpers, yes it works.

didnt reduce performance on my end, must be an issue on yours.

if you need help on your end, im sure plenty are willing.

"shrugs"

have a nice day :gk_smile:

Just use small mode then. But I just tested it and a few of them can be ended. Not all of them, obviously, as the client won't run without some.

I like that they're grouped again, makes it better.

If you have performance loss from the client, you might want to do something about your hardware/software. that's not normal
for good measure.

my firefox (only 2 tabs open, 15 webhelpers) and steam webhelpers, including steams other processes (only used the library and the forums so far, 8 webhelpers).

have a nice day :gk_smile:

If you are losing that much performance then your hardware wasn't very performant to begin with. So either you are massively exaggerating about your performance loss, or your hardware and/or system are really bad.
Good for you OP, you finally learned how to open Task Manger.

Yess task "manger" very good i opened it and i saw %45 fps decrease amazing
You really need to troubleshoot your PC. Steam does not decrease performance of games by 40%.

Yes it's steam updates.
Steam doesn't even take near that amount of resources unless you're using a computer built in like 2004.

Post a screenshot of the Task Manager. That will literally tell everyone if Steam is taking up a majority of your resources.
Also this. Do this or everything you've spewed so far might as well be lies.
None of that is an attack. They are all me stating my opinion, that you were not making any sense. And here I will state again, you literally do not know what you are talking about around this topic.

Oh my god the irony. Yes all your opinions. Not attacks.

If i say my opinions and experience it's all lies and i don't know what im talking about or i am trying to start fights?
Love it

Post the screenshot, or all that this thread is going to be is you dodging around an tossing accusations at people. You say you have proof. Then prove it.
