This adds a FreeTube extension to the store. FreeTube is a privacy-focused YouTube desktop client that registers a freetube:// URI handler.

The extension provides seven commands:

All commands funnel user input through a single YouTube URL resolver (src/youtube.ts), so a link pasted into Open behaves identically to the same link saved as a bookmark. The resolver is covered by tests/youtube.test.ts

The extension targets Linux, macOS, and Windows since FreeTube is cross-platform, and is classified under the Media category.

Search YouTube, open videos/channels/playlists, jump to feeds, and
manage bookmarks — all inside the FreeTube desktop client.
Explicitly hide the animated searching toast before opening FreeTube so
it does not remain active in the Vicinae status bar after execution.

I didn't know about freetube it's a pretty cool app. And this extension works well.
