🏴‍☠️ PirateX - Steam Search

Version Platform License

PirateX is a lightweight and elegant extension/userscript that natively integrates into the Steam store. It adds a custom dropdown menu right next to the purchase button, allowing you to quickly search for the game you are viewing on your favorite websites with a single click.


✨ Key Features

  • 🎨 Native Design: The button is designed with pure CSS to perfectly mimic the original Steam style (green gradients, 3D shadows, and hover animations).
  • Smart Injection: Uses MutationObserver to load the button the exact millisecond the page is ready, without annoying delays.
  • 🎯 Precise Search: Cleans the game name (removing symbols like ® or ™) and generates dynamic URLs (standard or slug format) tailored to each website.
  • 🛡️ Total Privacy: Requires no invasive permissions, uses no trackers, and features a data_collection: none policy. 100% clean code.

🛠️ Currently Supported Sites

The dropdown menu includes quick search links for:

  • Skidrow & Reloaded
  • Rexagames
  • Ankergames
  • Astral Games
  • GoG Games
