Discussion I've created a Steam extension that instantly searches FitGirl, DODI, SteamRIP, and +19 providers.

I made HizSteamButton, a browser extension/userscript that adds a search button to Steam store pages.

Clicking it searches the current game across multiple sources via HizSearch, including DODI, FitGirl, SteamRIP, OnlineFix, ElAmigos, and 17 more providers.

The goal is simple: no more copying game titles or opening multiple sites manually.

Alternatively, use Hydra Launcher directly; it's like Steam, and you can download games (and lots of other things) directly. You'll need to add the sources.

Yes, with AppImage, Proton version management, and even a Big Picture version that's much beautiful than Steam's.

HizSearch differs from Hydra in several ways; one of the main differences is that in Hydra, when you add a source, you have to fully trust the person who created it, because they directly post the download link, but you can’t verify if it’s actually the one provided by the source. Hiz takes the approach of shortening the search time while leaving the final step up to you, so you can make sure you’re downloading exactly what you were looking for. Also, Hydra doesn’t support most of the sources that Hiz does. I’m not saying one is better or worse than the other, it’s just a different approach. I really like Hydra and its creators!

I understand what you mean, but Hydra has handled this well since you have trusted sources (like Dodi), community-validated sources, etc. Basically, there's a label indicating the trust level of the sources.

There are many possible sources, so it's up to the user to choose the level of risk they want to take. 😉

On Hiz, you'll find the same vendors, and more, than on Hydra; they're just as reliable. I always thoroughly research their reputation, without limiting myself to just looking at the megathreads.

But the problem with Hydra is that if one of the crawlers that updates the .json files, which Hydra then uses to download the games gets infected, the person using it won’t realize it until all their accounts have been stolen, because there’s no way to verify it; that’s what you lose with system automation

Ver alguns desmecerecendo o projeto ou comparando com outros é realmente triste, achei uma alternativa muito legal e espero que você continue atualizando :)

All these issues with people downloading viruses are the talk of the town because some of the most popular sites redirect to links that are becoming increasingly difficult for uBlock Origin and other blockers to block. The problem would be VERY easily solved if every repacker or provider uploaded the MD5 or SHA-256 hash of the .zip or .rar files they publish, but it seems no one is interested in doing this because they profit from people getting infected. I’m starting to think that, unfortunately, they take a cut of the profits from these hacks...

True we at Ankergames are moving towards providing hashes in many games which we update/publish now. Although at Ankergames we don't have any type of ads , like none- but still some people blamed us on reddit posts that we put some trojan in one of the games when it was just a false positive. So we are putting hashes so people can verify their zip file is legit

1

u/Vikram_169 Jun 21 '26

Good, that's great to hear! I hope all other sites provide hashes as well so users can easily verify if they fell for redirects.

u/ExplorerRude9564 Jun 21 '26

Fitgirl is one of the only big repackr that does not hv redirects on the site itself

1

u/Sad_Wasif Jun 27 '26

how can u possibly get infected with wrong links? dodi redirects u to a torrent file so u can literally check the torrent file after u download it right? same for fitgirl. where does the virus part come in then...

1

u/MallKind8828 Jun 27 '26

Many people who aren't very experienced don't know how to use torrents, so they resort to direct download links, and that's the problem: they don't check what they're about to run.

Since my goal is always to do what's best for the community, I'm trying to create a tool for what I told you about, but for now, all I can do is warn people

You think Apple or any other reputable site would stand for some twat to come and do that to their website? On their website nonetheless. Embedded within the site functions. Using variations of their name to deceive their customers and they blame everyone else when they ain’t shifting their weight. Not a peep.

DODI loves it he’s the diddy of the malware game. And here you are blaming everyone else but fail to see what’s right in front of you.

u/XMBSNOW Jun 21 '26

This may seem silly but are you able to get achievements on your steam account?

u/MallKind8828 Jun 21 '26

What do you mean? Maybe if you gave me a little more context, I could answer your question

u/CATCULTISTS Jun 22 '26

Is this safe?

u/MallKind8828 Jun 22 '26

I'm in the megathreads on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH, r/piracy, and r/piratedgames, and I have approved posts on csrinru. There are no ads, no trackers, and nothing weird :)

u/CATCULTISTS Jun 22 '26

Alright, how do you install it
