So, recently got freetube downloaded, and love every bit of it. But I still forget myself, and put youtube into the url bar... So, is it possible to redirect Yt to Freetube instead?

Thanks

Here's the GitHub link if you want it for a chromium based browser: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
