Extension Usage Instructions

                        This small extension is meant to fix the missing setting that would allow avid users to go directly to the Subscriptions section of the YouTube website when clicking the logo. Great for anyone who wants to avoid the Home page by all means. Also redirects the "Home" menu item in the sidebar, or heck, any link that points to https://www.youtube.com/, no matter where it came from.

I used to maintain a userscript for this purpose, but due to YouTube's upcoming Material redesign's use of Polymer 2.0 I simply couldn't work around their event handlers.

This extension is open source, you can find the source code here: https://github.com/SeinopSys/YTMySubs-chrome
