Add option to open in "Fullwindow" by default

[shbach]

Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe.
I'm currently using the "Privacy Redirect" browser extension to have YT videos links I click open in FreeTube. I prefer using the "Fullwindow" view as I think it is the cleanest and distraction free option.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented
Right now whenever FreeTube opens I have to then manually click the "Fullwindow" button. Ideally FreeTube would have an option to open in "Fullwindow" view by default.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is an "Enable Theatre Mode by Default" but I don't think it's the same thing and when I activate that option I don't think I notice a difference?

Hey @shbach, there's already a PR for this and @PrestonN has to review it, it will get merged soon

[shbach]

@saideepesh000 That's close but what that PR does is open the video in fullscreen while I would prefer the option of "fullwindow"/"windowed fullscreen" which is slightly different.

hey, when will we get it? Do we get any alternate ways to do it instead of waiting for PR or stuff?
