Problem Description
As far as I can see there is no option in FreeTube yet to disable the spell check from Chromium. This spell check is not active when you use the search bar in the top, but unfortunately it is active when you search within a YouTube channel itself. See the screenshot. In my experience spell check mostly gets in the way while it doesn't help. For example, it will point out that "linux" is wrong because Linux is a name. Fair enough, but the user doesn't care about spelling it wrong at that moment because it doesn't make a difference for the search result (case-insensitive search) and it takes less effort to not capitalize the name. In other cases the spellcheck simply does't know a name or word, or the user uses another language which might it might not have the dictionary for. Red lines reduce the readability and in my opinion it looks ugly.

Alternatives Considered
I looked up if I could disable spellcheck for electron in general, I haven't found a solution.
