   Channel Surfer – Watch YouTube like it’s cable TV▲604

   I know, it's a very first-world problem. But in my house, we have a hard time deciding what to watch. Too many options! So I made this to recreate Cable TV for YouTube. I made it so it runs in the browser. Quickly import your subscriptions in the browser via a bookmarklet. No accounts, no sign-ins. Just quickly import your data locally.
