But you must buy a new powerful PC when your current one can’t handle new games or new web pages. It’s Progress, you can’t and shouldn’t try to stop it.

It's not Steam's fault you have that many tabs open.

You can also set the player to not auto play videos.

Maybe think about lowering the number of open tabs you have.

Most people I bet only have around a dozen, not 30+.

Also, the video player on the games store page is not new. It's been around for years by this point.

And that's Steam's fault?

Read better! I mean the unnecessary big size it now has!
the video player / image viewer.

I have a beast of a computer.

Thats not the issue. The issue is the unnecessary big size it has now.

It's not that big though?

But still if it's causing you issues, stop keeping 30+ tabs open.
Doesn't matter how powerful your system is, 30+ tabs open is going to slow down anyone's computer especially if those tabs have stuff going on.

Keeping 30 tabs open is unnecessary.

I have like 30+ open tabs and it only slows down things.

Unnecessary addition.

Perhaps upgrade to reasonable ram, there are system requirements for a reason.

The size of the gallery/player has zero impact on performance, it's just a css value. What matters is the resolution, which is NOT size-dependent.

If you really want to resize the gallery for some reason, here's how:

ublock origin:
to make it smaller:
to remove it entirely:
.edit: actually, I went ahead and made a new tampermonkey script, because the earlier one as just bad.
Use ublock, though.

You can say all you want.
I dont understand your codes!

16 Gb should be enough.

I have literally 100 tabs open at any given time in 3 entirely different browsers

Also rendering a video in a browser window takes up almost no memory or CPU cycles at all. If you're getting 'slowdowns' then you shoudl enable the hardware rendering of videos and web pages in steam to offload cycles to your GPU for that

Steam -> Settings -> Interface

* Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views
* Enable hardware decoding if supported

I already had that enabled.

It's obvious that if Im in 1440p native, and the screen for image viewer / video player is larger, there will be like a little stutter of sorts. I say little because the videos are playable, and the images take one millisecond more to load but its fine.

All that goes away if I enter big screen mode, but Im mostly always too lazy to enter big screen mode and just want to have a quick look at the game´s pics or trailers.

OP: it's a semi-legit concern. but valve is not going to solve it for you. this is a sales and advertising platform, first and foremost, a DRM/CMS platform second, a gaming/social platform 3rd and 4th, and a "giving a rip what users think, esp. if it's just for their comfort" platform, never.

------------------

funny how the low-level lusers -- those who lack understanding -- are the fascists. "Do it this way! The way I understand!"

Luckily that phenomenon isn't going on anywhere else in society, right?

don't try to put your limits on others, hikari, raw, and 76. just realize that some ppl are on a higher dimension than you, and either learn to accept it, or strive to meet it.

don't whine about it just because others have discovered a path which you evidently have not.

your first assertion is questionable and your second assumes a GPU doesn't have anything better to do. that's not the case in the CUDA age.

------------------

but why stop the controversial responses there? let's go a step further...

IE was always the most performant browser on Win, and Edge probably is, now.

not that I use it, but ... factual.

WFT did I just read (besides the first paragraph which is somewhat ok)? Did you take shrooms or something?
