Each time there is a Steam activity promotion, you can obtain activity cards by browsing the exploration queue. Clicking each time wastes time, so using a script can quickly go through the queue. It is available in the 2023 summer promotion.
One special tip is that if you encounter warnings like "game does not support current country," you can adjust it in the settings by filtering out adult content, and there will be no similar prompts in the queue in the future.
-
You need to log in to Steam on the Chrome browser.
-
Open the exploration queue page.
-
Click "F12" to open the console.
-
Find the "Console" tab.
-
Copy the code into the console and press enter to run it.
