   Firefox add-on to open YouTube videos in alternative front ends▲333

   YouTube started blocking me because I use an adblocker. So I made this simple Firefox Add-On (haven't made it cross-browser yet, contributions welcome!) to open videos in alternative front-ends (piped.video by default). Default keybinding: Alt+J to reopen current page in the configured frontend. Shift+Click to open any video in a new tab in the configured frontend. You can change the default frontend to something else if you like.

   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.
