Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1536436120 (?)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Manjaro 17.1.12
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Tried with beta and without
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Chat window says FRIENDS NETWORK UNREACHABLE. Upon clicking the Retry connection, it fails almost instantly.
Any page I try to load with the Steam browser client (Store, Profile...) fails with Error Code: -130.
I can play Dota2, but I cannot see my friends.
I can load Steam webpages from Firefox just fine.

Here's some output from running steam in a terminal.

Apparently I had some outdated proxy system setting (which is usually ignored by most programs anyway) and I think got picked up by Steam after some update. I removed it and now I can use the platform properly.

Nothing extracted yet.
