Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Finicky is only able to reroute links from non-browser apps before they reach a browser. Once you're in a browser, you're stuck.

Describe the solution you'd like Redirect matching http:// & https:// to finicky:// and finickys:// - let browser decide how to handle non-matched URLs, let Finicky decide how to handle matched ones.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually copying/pasting the URL from one browser into the one I want to use was getting tedious, and updating all http(s) to finicky(s) was creating new tabs unnecessarily if the page was being routed back to the same browser. Instead, we should check matches onBeforeNavigation.

Additional context I miss epichrome - those SSBs came with a helper extension to do exactly this: open matched URLs in the same browser/ssb, route other links to default browser. Finicky should already be doing this.
