Describe the bug

  1. Go to any page that has at least one video
  2. Right click on the channel name/link
  3. Click the Copy Link item
  4. Paste to any other places
  5. Got a not sharable link like: file:///opt/FreeTube/resources/app.asar/dist/index.html#/channel/xxxxxx

Expected Behavior

Copy the link with proper prefix, instead of file:///opt/FreeTube/resources/app.asar/dist/index.html#, it should be https://www.youtube.com/.

Or even better, the behavior on Youtube.com, that link will be with customized string, which is something more readable. For example, instead of https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow, it'll be https://www.youtube.com/c/LofiGirl
