Steam Webhelper
old version of the discussion is dead so I wanna ask if anyone knows how to deal with it now?

I have 7 of the damn Webhelpers hanging around my freaking pc though only 1 of them is using a bunch of memory which I assume is the only one actually being used.

'Steam Webhelper' is just a fancy word for 'Chrome web browser', since that is what is actually running. Much like using Chrome or Firefox, these threads are created to distribute the load on your multi-core machine, keeping it responsive and allowing it to dynamically be used, depending on what you are doing at any given time on any part of the Steam client.

The Steam client is not 'one thing'. Different parts (Store page, Discussion Forums, Chat, etc, etc) are modular.

I would not manually disable those (not sure, if that is even possible).
