Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is an extension of the Chromium browser rendering engine, an open-source project which is a component of Google Chrome, and since 2019, Microsoft Edge, aswell as many other 
Chromium-based browsers.
In relation to Valve
The Steam client on Windows and OS X uses a customized version of CEF to render web content, and as of June 15, 2023, the entire UI now uses CEF, replacing the old VGUI system. VGUI is not completely removed, and was kept just in case if CEF does not working properly, telling users to restart some Steam process, or to warn users that Windows compatibility mode is enabled on Steam.
The Source code for Valve's usage of the Chromium Embedded Framework (and Chromium) can be downloaded as a ZIP archive (783 MB, 24th April 2012). A patch for revision 465 of the CEF codebase is available on pastebin (280 KB) that will apply Valve's changes.
