10 BIG BENS OUT OF 10

Absolute must-have for me at this point. I don't even like using the Steam client anymore, because it doesn't come with the Augmented Steam features. Makes comparing prices effortless, and offers way more info about the game than the vanilla Steam. Instead of going to multiple sites like SteamDB, HowLongToBeat, Isthereanydeal etc. all that is condensed into the Steam store page. Sure, I could do all that manually and slower, but why?

You can ignore the people complaining about AI. All the AI does is summarize reviews, and you can disable that feature, like any feature, if for some reason you don't like it. But this is exactly the type of thing AI should be used for. Summarizing hundreds of reviews so you don't have to scroll the endless cesspool that is the Steam Reviews to find the few with actual info in them.

Super useful

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!

I am staunchly anti-ai but the announcement was heavily appreciated and I think you're doing things right.
I checked the VarporLens summary features for store pages since it seems to be controversial, but since it's so hard to miss and has been announced, I can't say it's a bad feature when you can go turn it off if you dislike it. This combined with "I can say that I am not using and will not use AI or AI tools on either IsThereAnyDeal or Augmented Steam," has my continued trust and support.

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.

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.
