How to speed up Steam's web browser

If you've used Steam for any length of time, I'm sure you've noticed that the web browser can be very slow.

Here's a tip that Spyder810 recently posted on reddit:

close steam and navigate here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config (or wherever you have steam installed)

delete the following folders

• cookies
• htmlcache
• overlaycookies
• overlayhtmlcache

Steam doesn't delete the cache files, etc which slows it down significantly. (ccleaner misses these files)

Once done, you should see a signficant improvement in speed.

For me those folders included 5336 files and occupied 667MB of space. Clearing out the folders immediately made Steam's browser run faster.
