== In relation to Valve ==
 
The [[Steam]] client on Windows, Linux, and macOS previously a customized version of CEF to render web content like the Store and Community. As of June 15, 2023, the entire UI was remade with web technologies and is now rendered using CEF, replacing the old [[VGUI]] interface. VGUI was not completely removed, and was kept just in case CEF stops working correctly, telling users to restart Steam, or to warn users that Windows compatibility mode is enabled.
