"Apart from this, red shell does NOT modify your browser settings, inject code into all pages you visit, add a browser toolbar, constantly run in the background, MITM your TLS or anything else like that."

Not sure if you play on Linux at all, but a good way to start is to run Steam in firejail. It isolates that environment from the rest of the OS.
