I used to have terrible stutters whenever ingame, but launching the steam client in no-browser always fixed it so ive just been playing like that for years
as of today, launching steam with the no-browser tag no longer works, and the game is super stuttery again from web helper using all my CPU. anyone know of an alternative way to launch or a different way to stop the stutters?

after quickly testing on linux (didnt test windows), games run fine, but you need to launch them through minimal mode and you won't be able to chat with people (and you will be offline), because that is handled by the now disabled steamwebhelper. also updates might revert these changes, but that shall be seen

fwiw, i tried the Windows method and it doesn't seem to work. if i try running Steam, it hangs without steamwebhelper.exe and eventually crashes.

try this
I tried this: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1640927348821879594/?ctp=2#c3761102779894870752
Make a new text file and paste in the code (change the "D:\Games\Steam" path to your own one for the "Steam" folder). Save it as "start-mini.cmd" and double-click the file to open it. Takes a little longer to launch steam but seems to get rid of the webhelper altogether. Don't know how the code works myself exactly though.
