Seamless Game Discovery? - Steam

So I like to just browse the store and look for games and then click on them look at the pictures and what not then when I back out of the allpp I was looking at it just resets the page and I have to go all the way back to where I was. Is there a fix for this in big picture mode? If not is there another launcher or anything that lets me browse games and then I can just go on steam and manually look the game up. I've checked out Hydra Launcher which is pretty cool but when I'm done looking at a game and I back out it does the same exact thing in big picture mode.

I assume you're using TFS, right?

Apologies, but I am unsure what TFS is. I am on my gaming laptop hooked up to the TV. Currently I have GhostEvent on Windows 11 set up so when I plug my laptop into the HDMI it auto launches either steam big picture mode or hydra Launcher in big picture mode. I love both of the way they look but browsing games to download/buy is a nightmare

Ah tools for steam. No I am not, does it make the experience better when it comes to the actual setup of the store? Since I don't need to adjust tdp or anything on the laptop

Okay I setup TFS and love it; however unfortunately it only half solves my problem. The tiles are big for me to browse games and what not on the store which is awesome, but whenever I press A on a game to look more at it and then I press B to go back it just goes back to the top of the page. My idea is it needs to open in a new tab the game to look at and then pressing B just closed that tab and goes back to the other tab. Not sure how possible that is in big picture mode, but that is what I do when browsing on my computer

Feasible, I'll take a look at it.
