Remember last month when we reported on a company that had released a web browser that could be surfed while still playing a game? Well we think that program is about to be rendered obsolete. Valve‘s newest beta client for Steam has just added their own in game web browser feature.

As you can see from the screenshot above it means you can play a game of Left 4 Dead and still check your favorite PC gaming news site. If you have Steam installed you can check out the beta release right now. Valve’s official message boards has the info on how to access it. The web browser apparently uses Internet Explorer (ugh) as its basis but a Valve team member on the forums suggests they may change the rendering engine for the browser in the future. Remember this is a beta release so there will be issues.
