Was good until they added AI slop to it. It's on by default and completely useless. It's inaccurate. Creator doesn't care and still begs for money on Patreon.

Super useful

Was a great plugin until it added Vaporlens AI garbage to user reviews
thanks but no thanks

First: This plugin has been extremely useful to me, especially as a desktop Linux & Steam Deck user who loves being able to see the ProtonDB status of any game immediately while browsing Steam. Plus, the highlighting features and the instant price summaries are great. It genuinely makes looking through the store a better experience.

However, I'm very disappointed to see something like VaporLens embedded and activated by default in an otherwise great plugin. I get enough "AI" garbage everywhere else on the Internet now, and I'm honestly sick of it at this point. As far as I'm concerned, something like that should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Most of the functionality in this addon is quite good. But force-enabling AI slop through VaporLens made me switch to an alternative.

Amazing add-on. That said, adding two 'disruptive' external features by default just doesn't feel right. Sure, some people might find them useful (not even arguing for the AI aspect of vaporlens), but it should be a choice on the user to turn them on, same as every other option in the add-on.
That and the two newly added things (vaporlens and steampeek) are huge and take up a big part of the screen surprisingly.
Also don't expect people to read every part of a changelog every time just to see what you arbitrarily decided to add.

Hard to live without this extension. If you use Steam, you need this, period.

That said, please keep VaporLens. The hyper reactionary folks are a vocal minority. It's useful to me. Users can turn it off if you they like it. What a silly thing to be upset about. I'm shocked it's even up for discussion and might be removed over a few complaints. Like, it's optional, like just turn it off if you don't like it lol. It takes longer to complain about than to disable it in the AS options and never be troubled again.

Thanks for your ongoing updates. The addon is great!
Also please keep the vaporlens support. Its quite useful.

This is a fantastic add-on for anyone that uses Steam more than just to play a couple specific games and be done with it. All the features that help with Wishlist management, ITAD integration for showing your other libraries, price comparisons and review summaries are just indispensable for frequent Steam users. Thank you dev!

Created a Firefox account just to leave this review because of the backlash over VaporLens. If people don't like it, they can turn it off. The first time I saw it, I liked the info it presented and thought it was a useful addition. People trying to have an ideological objection to it aren't even looking at its integration, usefulness, or any tangible factor. They simply hear "AI" and lose all objectiveness. It's fine. Keep it in. You did your due diligence and I agree with your choices. Thanks for the incredibly useful free add-on.

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.

Love the new VaporLens feature!

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.

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.

Welp, the update kept VaporLens. Uninstalled the add-on and changing my review to 1 star. I'll actively tell people to avoid this add-on now. Very disappointed.

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.

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.
