Steam has its own marketplace - a place where users buy / exchange / sell various items for games and their profile. And frequent users of the trading platform are well aware that they constantly need to perform the same actions, and how annoying it is. In addition to routine actions, there is a high probability of not having time to buy goods. The competition is great, hence every fraction of a second plays a role.

There are several ways to make the process of buying, selling and exchanging easier and more convenient. Various computer programs and browser extensions will help in this matter, and it is most preferable to use the second option. Extensions are not demanding on PC resources, they can work even after the browser is closed (if you enable this option in the browser itself) and satisfy all basic user requests in terms of functionality.

This extension is installed in Yandex.Browser, and here's what it can do:

1. accelerates the purchase of an item on the marketplace in Steam: the user does not need to check the boxes to confirm the action;
2. speeds up the sale - to list an item for sale, just click one button, and it will appear on the Steam marketplace. The price of such an item will be 1 kopeck lower than the current price from another seller;

3. helps to quickly buy the missing elements of the set - if the user has one or more items from one set, then using the Buy missing parts function, you can buy the missing elements;
4. if an exchange is carried out, then the extension calculates the price of all items, and thus determines whether the exchange will be profitable;

5. indicates the cost of things at the moment when the user is in someone else's inventory;

6. when viewing the inventory, indicates whether a particular item is worn by the hero or whether it is used, for example, as a HUD, etc.;

7. displays notifications in the bottom corner of the browser about new friends, exchanges and comments;
8. makes a purchase and sale and automatically confirms the agreement of the marketplace;

10. displays which items from the set the user has and which are missing.

The extension has several other interesting features that will come in handy in the process of using the program.

The Steam marketplace is a virtual exchange where they buy, exchange, sell all sorts of items and attributes used in online games.

All these sales and purchases are associated with many endlessly repeating routine actions. What is the need to tick off endlessly!

Secondly, losing precious fractions of a second is terribly unprofitable on this TP, where traders have crazy competition, and players want to instantly grab a weapon to fight further, etc.

This marketplace is located at . And this is how she looks.

How to use the Steam inventory helper?

Learning how to use the new add-on is a simple task for any trader or player who already has experience using the Steam TP.

Before you get started, you can watch a tutorial video on YouTube. For example, here it is:

It's great if the information about this extension was useful to you.

Note: it may seem strange that we install extensions in Yandex browser, and download it from the store Google Chrome. The fact is that these browsers are created on the same platform and, accordingly, all Google extensions are fully suitable for the Yandex browser.


Steam inventory helper(clickable) - an extension for Google Chrome, which will greatly simplify the routine actions of a trader, and even an ordinary player or seller.

This extension can:

1. Quickly buy items on the Steam marketplace- for this there is one Quick buy button, by clicking on which you will immediately buy the item and do not have to check the box, etc.

2. Quick sale of an item on the marketplace- Well, everyone has come across this, who at least sold something on the TP. The essence of this function is that when you click on this button, the item will be sold at a price one penny less than the last bid for this item.

3. Set quick buy button- if you have an item from at least some set, then in your inventory, on this item, the "Buy missing parts" button will appear, which means "buy the missing parts". This is a very useful feature, in my opinion.

4. Checking the cost of things and gems inside the Steam inventory- the most useful feature of all available. I often trade and sometimes, in order not to get into an awkward situation in which you go into the red, you have to copy the name of the item and find its value on the trading floor. But with this extension, you will see the cost of things even in someone else's inventory.

5. Information about the use of the item- it will simply show whether the hero is wearing this item or not, a so-so feature, I don’t know how it can help.

Here is a screenshot of all the last 4 functions I described:

It also has a number of other useful features, but they are nothing compared to these, you yourself will recognize them if you use this extension.

Enough big time, since 2015 I have known a certain vulnerability that can be exploited in an interesting way. But I thought that it would quickly become popular and be fixed, but it turned out not at all like that. All vulnerability is related to things Dota 2, or rather with their signatures. As you know, when you gift an item in Dota 2, you can sign it. And the whole point is that if the person who opens your Steam inventory has the extension Steam Inventory Helper, then html code in the caption will start playing.

On the first picture there is no extension, on the second it is installed:

The only thing I managed to knock out from this vulnerability was the playback of music and sounds, other scripts did not work. (this is most likely due to the extension policy, which prevents the use of many other functions)

So, how to reproduce all this yourself:
1) Upload the music file to any hosting. (but keep in mind that the directory is shorter, because the signature has a limitation)
2) Next, paste your link into Right place in this code:

3) We send someone any item using the "Wrap as a gift" function.
