Description

Provides automatic functionality to Steam's web filter pages

Steam Web Filter Bypasser is an Extension for Google Chrome that provides automatic bypass functionality to Steam's web filter pages, and some other useful features.

Unlike other extensions in this category, this is the only one that intelligently bypasses all of Steam's filter pages, yet retains user protection by only filtering common phishing sites that try to steal your identity. It's the best of both worlds, and your ultimate install-and-forget solution.

Features include:
* Forwards you to links from steam chat automatically
* Auto-continues age-gated pages (see screenshot) from steamcommunity.com
* Auto-accepts SSA/TOS checkbox on market pages during purchase
* Supports links from Steam chat (web or application), Steam forums, and official Steam/Steam community websites.
* Intelligently corrects misspellings of steamcommunity.com to prevent common phishing urls being clicked by accident.
* Accurate and efficient Steam web filter detection ensures this extension accounts for url variations, and ensures you always get you bypassed, unlike other extensions that only work most of the time. That simply isn't good enough.

This extension does not obtain any information from steamcommunity.com in any way. For those concerned, I invite them to view the source.
