Should Steam have tabs?

[Jack Arnold]

would tabs similar to those in web browsers improve steam or make it unnecessarily taxing for low end PC's?

I don't think it would be a bad thing to be honest, Valve, get on it!

Oh by the way Welcome to the escapist

Tabs where?

It uses them for chats and in it's browser now, so just on the store/community pages?

Also, why doesn't steam sell movies/music?

It sells soundtracks, but I'm not sure I would want movies on Steam.

I'd quite like it just being game oriented.

And so it begins... In 20 years time we are like "Hey, remember when people actually used steam to buy games? Lol, anyway, I hope that fridge I bought on steam arrives soon!"

Believe it or not, Steam uses IE6. Laggy, slow piece of crap.

I mean, I understand them not paying money to use Chrome or whatever, but maybe update it to IE8 or something?

Are you sure?
I mean, I know it did at one point, but I thought it HAD been updated a while ago.

According to some "totally legit" site I found over google, they updated to something called webkit in 2009.

Doesn't really change anything. Browsing the shop is still a laggy experience.

Thats in-game web browsers for you, if you think thats bad the Eve online browser was super slow back when I was a player a couple of years back

He's wrong of course. It uses Webkit. Back when it actually rendered in Trident it could do multiple tabs. And I want that back.
