I know there's a lot of hate for autojoin addons on the site, and I don't want one. I don't mind paging the list and seeing what I want to put my points into. What I'd like, though, is something to make it a little less difficult to sort the pile.

On the main Steam site I use the addons Enhanced Steam and Steam Database. This lets me see a lot of information on each page right up front - most importantly to me the SteamDB rating percentage and the overall positive/negative review bias. What I'd like would be a SteamGifts addon that just pulls that positive/negative data and the SteamDB Rating for a game and displays it on their giveaway page, or (and I know this is more of an ask) on the main giveaway list. I'm not capable of coding at all, but this would make it a lot easier and faster to select and work through the list of giveaways when it's not something I've heard of or have on my wishlist. Is this something that's possible to put together?

This thing is a beast - actually to the point where I can't find the sort of thing I was looking for, for ratings and SteamDB information. Can you tell me what I'm looking for?

It is indeed a bit of a beast, and unless you're a heavy user of the site it might be worth seeing if you can find a smaller solution. (I'm moving away from it myself).

It is an absolutely brilliant beast though... So if you want to use it you should glance at section 7.2 - That's games, then game categories. 7.2.26 is rating, and you can set it to color it differently depending on what range it's in and so on.

The most useful tip otherwise is to take a guess at what you might want (rating) and just enter it in the search box on the settings page. It shows not only what you searched for but the surrounding context which teaches you what sections tends to have what in it.
