Re: [hlds_linux] New browser engine support for steam?
But the risk to IE is greater because it dominates the Market, and therefore is the biggest target for "hacking". Also, most people who use IE are technologically illiterate, and are therefore more likely to end up accidentally installing malware on their machines.

Re: [hlds_linux] New browser engine support for steam?
I also think that the Steam client needs to lose some "fat". In it's current state I find that it's far too bloated and is far to resource intensive. I know a lot of people who chose not to activate games through Steam for this reason. By moving to a different browser, they could also cater for Macs, and if they pull this off, they would quickly dominate the Mac gaming Market. I know there are many issues with this, but Valves own content would be incredible on it's own.
