About

IMPORTANT: Only works if FreeTube is installed ( https://freetubeapp.io/#download )

Catch all requests to YouTube across your system and redirect them to open FreeTube! Avoid pre- and in-video-ads, tracking, and promotional materials with FreeTube, and avoid the multi-step process of copying and pasting URL's with Free-Direct! When the attached browser is set as the default browser, all requests will be sent to FreeTube, opening a new window when it's already opened (if enabled in FreeTube General Settings).
