- Rated 5 out of 5by Onurtag, 2 months agoVery glad to see that Iridium is back!
I tried Nova Youtube, Enhancer for Youtube and Improve Youtube but I am staying with Iridium. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tar-Man, 5 months agoActually works with the new layout, and the theater mode with full viewport video and sliding top bar is the best implementation so far. Glad you're back.
Small recommendation: Option to hide the scroll bar, so the video can actually use full width. Or even make it pop-in on top.Developer response
posted 2 months agoI liked your suggestion to hide scroll bar when in super theater mode, you can follow the progress of that feature here github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/1000 - Rated 3 out of 5by DanLo', 6 months agoAfter 3-4 years of stopping to use this app du to the reboot, I decided to have a look back at it... but I think it won't be quite for now yet.
It makes yt pages loading too much slower notably.
Feature-wise, I notably miss the options for volume boost or to change size & control mini player when I scroll down the page.
I'll have a look back to it when version 2.1.1 comes to see if it get better to switch from Enhancer for yt. :)Developer response
posted 6 months agoEdit: Sorry for the delay, I hope the performance issue on the video page is now improved with the release of 2.1.1 Original: Hi, currently working on making it lighter, the methods used to intercept YT code are heavy and need to be improved, though this is mostly limited to logged in users and when the comment section loads. Volume boost was never a feature present in Iridium, but controlling the mini player is a matter of moving it with the right mouse button. Resizing it was not re-implemented though, I need to find an easier way to do it that is not as complex as it was before. - Rated 5 out of 5by phraggers, 7 months agoNot sure what happened 3 years ago that this kept getting 1 star ratings, I installed this 2 days ago and it's done everything I wanted and more, fantastic. Will update my review later if I run into problems.

posted 7 months agoHi, I simply stopped updating the extension a few years ago due to other priorities, and resumed work a few months ago. In that time that I was absent YT changed significantly and the extension was no longer working correctly, which lead to the very deserving lower ratings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rock, 8 months agoCan the Scroll volume function provide an option to hold the Shift key or not? Edit: Thanks for the option.
Developer response
posted 8 months agoSure, sounds like a simple enough feature, I will add that to the next version. You can follow the progress here if you want: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/961 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18285282, 8 months agoPlease restore the previous version 2.0.6, this 2.0.7broke several features.
Edit: autoplay is now a button...Developer response
posted 8 months agoGlad to hear you got the issue resolved. Sorry for the confusion, the autoplay button is simply a shortcut that toggles the feature so users don't have to go into the extension settings and do it there, it is simply a convenience feature that can also be disabled if you don't want another button on the page. - Rated 4 out of 5by darkbayleef, 8 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kelue, 4 years agoWorked great once, but a year ago the dev got mad when asked to design the extension with the same permission standards as other Firefox extensions, and then just stopped working on it entirely. If you must use this, use an older version, but its not maintained any longer and just causes more issues than it solves.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Defenser of Arisa, 4 years agoI had trouble with it before, it was just a setting problem. Now it just completely stop me from watching YouTube. Spent a good 10 mins disabling my extensionsto find out which one was the problem. To my surprise, the add-on meant to improve my YouTube experience caused me the most problems on YouTube. I don't know what they did today, but they broke it.
Save yourself the headache and don't use Iridium. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14291925, 4 years agoadd-on went to shid a year ago when they decided to totally redo the UI and then just stopped updating it

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bearskij, 4 years agoThe writer freaked out because he had to follow the rules and then he abandoned this extension. This is mostly malware now.
- Rated 1 out of 5by FVBryM, 4 years agoNeeds a LOT of work before I'll ever consider it again. Intrusive constant pop-up asking for money...NO FUCKING WAY. That's why extensions like this exist...we don't want ANNOYING BULLSHIT like that!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Arcane, 5 years agoGreat extension, an absolute must-have, unfortunately Mozilla has recently decided to be extremely anal about it, so it's no longer supported here. Go to the developers github for newer versions
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12463765, 5 years ago21.4.2020/// As of today, Iridium completely breaks YouTube's autoplay. Keeps on giving a "playback error". Forced to disable it for now.
Used to be a 5/5 app until the recent updates which removed all of its functions.
Go back to version 0.2.5 if you want this addon to work properly. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13512887, 5 years ago
