Re: [hlds] steam:// protocol commands
Maybe give a popup when a url is launched. You are being redirected to a website that is not controlled or monitored by steam or valve. Do not enter any personal information on this website, and be sure to use the report phishing button in the web browser if you think the website is suspect. [ Continue ] [ Cancel ] This is how Outlook Web Access handles it, and maybe other services that allow external links.
