If you're like me and you despise the new Steam friends list integrated with chat, you can get the old Friends list back.
Append these command lines to your steam shortcut:
-nochatui -nofriendsui
So if Steam is installed on your E: drive (as it is on my system) the shortcut will look like this:
E:\Steam\Steam.exe -nochatui -nofriendsui
If you have Steam in your startups you'll need to append these commands to that shortcut as well.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

Great! Thanks for that. It would have been better if during the update, they offered you the option to revert back to the old list. I guess they are learning from MS.

Thanks. It's annoying to have the list pop up when I start steam.

Another article about Steam: https://www.howtogeek.com/360177/what-t ... our-money/
After reading the article, I forgot that Valve has not put out a game since 2011. I guess they have a skeleton staff, but manages to make tons of money anyway.

They make a fortune off the Steam platform. I think all their programmers work on that, and updates to TF2 and CS GO which seems to be their two most popular games.
Actually it's amazing how many people are playing those two games. The stats are unbelievable:
Counter Strike Global Offensive:

Around 181 THOUSAND people playing when I just checked around midnight.
Team Fortress 2
https://steamcharts.com/app/440
Around 44 thousand.
The only games with more players than CS GO are Player Unknowns Battlegrounds and Dota 2:

Sadly they've disabled this. We're stuck with the new friends list now
