5 years ago I am experiencing similar problems, but not only with the browser. The whole Steam overlay is unresponsive and feels like the event loop is only processed once every 15 seconds or so. It requires a lot of patience to click buttons (hover, click, drag a few pixels, wait for hover effect to show, then click again seems to be the best strategy). Moving windows is even harder. However, toggling the overlay on and off via Shift+Tab is instant.
I don't see any increase in CPU usage or other kinds of lags or stutter after activating the overlay, so it does indeed seem like the event loop is simply blocked by something.
I can reproduce this with both OpenGL and Vulkan on Arch Linux.

Issue: I can open the Steam overlay/in-game browser (shift+tab), but I can't click on anything. Right- click opens in another area, far from my cursor. It doesn't seem to click on where the cursor is pointing to. Can't even close tabs or close the browser. I have to keep pressing right-click hoping that it'll open the menu where there cursor is, then use left click. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. This only started happening last week probably?
