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

You could just override your local DNS to do so, but you'll end up breaking other sites that try to load it at some point. Maybe try only using a bookmark?

This would also create issue with certificates.
