I assume the answer is currently no and can probably survive with alt tabbing around.

In the old version of Big Picture you could bring up a browser in the Steam overlay while playing mid game. This allowed for quickly accessing online references and even bookmarking online guides etc.

I’m aware of accessing Steam guides and notes - and these are great features. But is there a way to easily access online information while playing?

      If the overlay is activated in the Steam options, press shift + tab in any steam game and then click the Browser symbol in the bar .

        Could you do me a favor and confirm this is visible for you when you’re in Big Picture mode?

        I can see settings in Steam under Display where I enable the overlay, can set things like default browser page and reorder “Web Browser”.

        But I don’t see it visible when I open the overlay.

          Ok, sorry for the misinformation. In the beta there actually was a Browser available but since then it has been removed and there are currently no ways to reenable it.
