How to turn off Steam notifications to friends
Oh, you wanna go incognito on Steam, huh? Easy peasy! Just open your Steam client and click on 'Friends & Chat' at the bottom right corner. Then, hit the cogwheel icon to open settings, and navigate to the 'Notifications' tab. In there, you'll find all sorts of notification settings you can turn off, including those pesky ones that tell your friends when you're gaming. Just uncheck the ones you don't want, and voila, game in peace!

Honestly, just set your status to 'Offline.' Problem solved. Short, sweet, and to the silent point.
Can confirm, turning off specific notifications in the 'Friends & Chat' settings works like a charm. Been gaming in stealth mode for weeks now. My friends think I'm busy doing productive stuff, but little do they know, it's game time all the time!
