I usually don't rate addons, but since this one is getting review bombed (because of the integration of a website that does Steam review summaries with LLMs (Vaporlens)), I'm writing mine.

The extension is filled with amazing features I didn't knew I wanted, but ended up loving them. Even niche things like custom steam gift card amounts is nice.

The best thing: it's open source and doesn't want to track you. Check the features and source on their website augmentedsteam.com

It's extremely customizable as well.

Extremely useful!

I've had a consistently good experience with augmented steam over the years. It's a great addon for anyone that uses steam.

If the developer wants to add some ai summary tool and an option to turn it off. I have no issues whatsoever with that.
I don't particularly like ai stuff, but I sure love options.


Thanks for all the work you've done!

A core part of my Steam experience, wouldn't want to miss it. About the VaporLense situation: I think a setting to turn it off (which already exists) is enough.

I enjoyed using it until I saw the popup about VaporLens. I don't think the benefits of VaporLens's review summaries outweigh the cons of using - and by extension normalizing - AI, so I'm uninstalling this addon. I'll reinstall it if VaporLens is removed.

Ignore the anti-AI whiners threatening to review bomb you, this is one of the best add-ons out there and I love seeing new features.

Great extension that I've used for years, but I will uninstall and 1-star this if the AI shit (VaporLens) remains. Please remove.

I love the add-on as is but if the VaporLens thing stays, I'll change my rating to 1-star and remove the program. I want nothing to do with that kind of thing and I will not endorse it.

Wonderful 5-star add-on, but I'm here to request that VaporLens be removed. The overall negatives of generative AI far outweigh the short-term benefits and are not worth the trade off.

Please don't pay any attention to the no doubt small number of vocal people who want to remove Vaporlens - they can choose not to use it, but don't let them impose their choices on those of us who like the feature and don't mind AI.

At worst make it opt-in, rather than opt-out.

Great extension of course - goes without saying.

Adding good-for-nothing "features" that use AI is already bad, but even worse when opt-out instead of opt-in.

As someone who has used Augmented Steam (and Enhanced Steam) for a long while, I am frankly quite disgusted and will be keeping this disgrace to the original extension un-bloody-installed. Screw you.

Just to chime in on the VaporLens situation — I really hope it stays, because it made getting genuinely useful information about games so much easier. Thanks to it, I don’t have to dig past front-page reviews, which are often unserious or unhelpful when it comes to actually judging a game. It’s concise, accurate, and genuinely helpful, and I honestly couldn’t care less about what technology was used to achieve it.

Хорошее расширение для Стима. Люди чёто говорят про недавнее обновление с настройками ИИ, но это же можно отключить... Кароче желаю разрабу терпения и не быть на поводу и деградировать как некоторые

Adds some huge AI box in the reviews just like that and turns it on by default for no good reason. Dismisses it as not using AI but only using the data generated by one.

they added vaporlens generative ai as an option and turned on by default. so sick of gen ai being implemented everywhere.

Now adds opt-out AI stuff on store pages without warning.

as good as all the features are this stupid fucking extension completely jumbled up my wishlist with 0 warning about anything. (I had 700 games and the top 50 was basically in order, now this wishlist is useless)
EDIT: it has only jumbled a small part like the top 25 or so, thankfully the rest is fine

After the recent Steam UI update I noticed a lot of my favourite features were no longer working, such as scrolling through images on an app page with the scroll wheel and the quick sell options for the marketplace. Will these be coming back? Thanks!
