Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When looking at a steam profile by clicking the player name on the cs2 scoreboard, steamwebhelper will get stuck using ~400% cpu in 5 threads. Even after closing the browser in the overlay.
The only way to fix it is to exit and restart cs2.
Not all profiles cause it to happen though. Only tested in premier - could not reproduce it by looking at any of my friends profiles from the main menu.

This profile did cause the problem when opened in the overlay from the cs2 scoreboard: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964424871/

I wasn't able to reproduce this with Steam stable 1709846872 after 3 games, but it happend at least 2 out of 3 games with the beta client.

Nothing extracted yet.
