      I have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.

        Yeah, but hardly aggressive. They only popup when you start steam. If you leave it running, even with the option on, you never see them.

          I dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).

            Both still optional. You can easily turn off both boot with OS and the ads it’s serving.

            Aggressive to me is non-optional, in-your-face type crap.

              For me, aggressive doesn’t necessarily have to mean non-optional.

                I dunno. I don’t see those ads as annoying because it only takes one button click to get rid of the lot of them at once. Versus having to wait X amount of seconds before you can actually get to what you want.

                Ads suck, but those are probably the least offensive ads to me on Steam. The giant banners get me the most because I have a habit of clicking my mouse in blank space.
