[BUG] Links on Steamcommunity get replaced with broken links

[Kissaki]

Expected Behavior

When I open an external link on Steamcommunity discussions I either get the Steam leaving steam warning page or navigate to the target directly.

Actual Behavior

A default page or first page of the discussion is shown.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Log in to steamcommunify.com
2. Open a steam discussion with an external link
3. Compare original/intended link target vs actual link target

During loading you can on-hover verify the link target is the correct URL before AugmentedSteam replaces it.
After loading finished, on-hover shows the link target has been replaced, seemingly to (part of) current page URL with /null suffix.

With Augmented Steam disabled the link remains the correct link.

• Augmented Steam Version: 2.6.0

Apparently only occurs while logged in, not when logged out.

Steam randomly changed the query string used to handle link filters 🙄. This isn't related to the issue you linked (that's for age gates).

You'll have to disable the Disable confirmation when accessing external sites option for now.

Despite Steam changing parameters on their own, the extension can have a defensive check that if result is null stops replacing the links.

Edit: that is done in #1791.

it's still not fixed? We still have to just disable the feature Disable confirmation when accessing external sites ?

Fixed in next release
