Is there a way to disable "You're now leaving steam page?"

Im going assume the rest was a joke

um, all of it was

My point still stands.

i don't find this to really be annoying at all. coupled with the fact that i'm already paranoid when it comes to links people send me, I find this to really help. i wouldnt mind a few additions to the wjhitelist such as imgur though, or the ability to modify your whitelist

It's ridiculous that there isn't yet some sort of way to turn off these warning by accepting some sort of "Own Risk TOS".

Probably because "own risk" doesn't really cover it. If users are able to turn it off, you're inherently exposing other members to risks should that person's account be compromised.

but their filter covers any links they would be sent soo

Irrelevant to my point. The other users would be more inclined to follow the link should it come from someone who is already on their friends list. It can already happen I know, but having that as a feature would do more to encourage it.

This is so goddamn annoying. Every link other than youtube and steamcommunity gives me this. No way, imageshack isn't an official steam website? Never would have guessed!

It's not that hard to check if the green mark is next to the URL. It's not that hard to check the link. It is hard to misread "steumcommority.cmo" as "steamcommunity.com". They shouldn't decide for everyone that "they need it". I don't need it and I don't want it either. I'm sick of it.

Every time I'm logged out on steamcommunity I get suspicious anyways, so I check the link. No need for this for me.

just copy the link from the chat, and paste it into a new tab. that's what I do.

It's the same reason they disabled /me.

tbh they should just make PSA ads that'd warn you about this type of stuff instead of loving page redirects

A more convenient and less invasive solution would to be print something like /!\ not a steam site or something underneath any message containing a non-steam link.

the problem is that the automatic redirect is the only solution thats handicap-proof, not even steam guard proved to be completely effective

or better yet make any exploitable features have toggable abbr tags like this (hover your mouse over this)

I just use a script I made.

Code: [Select]

// ==UserScript==
// @name Steam Filter Bypass
// @author Steve5451
// @include https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/*
// ==/UserScript==

var proceed = document.getElementById("proceedButton").href;
if(proceed != undefined) {
window.location = proceed;
}

Problem is that handicaps are going to get so used to the message that it just flies right over their head as an inconvenience anyway. It should only filter URL's that are similar to steam, so it only happens on phishing links, and actually grabs their attention.
