- Rated 5 out of 5by 43615, 5 years agoIMPORTANT: Use old version!
This is a great extension with many useful features. There aren't any alternatives offering the same quality. Amazing work!
HOWEVER, due to some issues explained on the GitHub page, most of the functions are gone in the current version. Until the functionality is restored, you should use the latest "old" version for now, which is 0.2.5. You can find the version archive under the "More information" section of the store page. - Rated 1 out of 5by Optimus1008, 5 years agoUsed to work fine... right now though, it just completly breaks YouTube for me. Not a single YouTube video wants to load while this add-on is active.
- Rated 5 out of 5by SirLotsaLocks, 5 years agoIt does everything it advertises and blends in so well with youtubes UI. I can't wait till they add more features.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13553492, 5 years agoI loved this extension because of the wealth of features. Until the features return I have uninstalled and gone with a competing extension.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12614515, 5 years agofor pity till blacklist features comes back, like in Youtube Plus, this extension is no better than any of several others.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Nacon, 5 years agoThis has worked so well... but lately, they updated with new UI setting with most of the features gone. Stated that it's "coming soon". Which is kinda stupid to do. They need to roll back the version and put the old features back in. They should only replace them when it's ready, not "coming soon" tacked on. The blacklist channels feature is one of the biggest reason why I use it... and it's not ready in this latest version. Stupid thing to do.

- Rated 3 out of 5by KMer, 5 years agoJust waiting for "Reverse that stupid playlist" button. Thanks for Dark Theme and Disable Autoplay features.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15633493, 5 years agoGood extension that I have been using for years on Chrome.
However, the "Allow loudness normalization" feature does not work on Firefox. It is missing in the latest versions, and it does not work on version 0.2.5.
Really hope that this can be fixed. - Rated 1 out of 5by ab-mmxciii, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cosmic, 5 years agoThank you Particle for being amazing. I've been using Iridium for so long. I hope that my favorite feature, reversing playlists, comes back someday soon.
I don't have a stable income yet, but once I do I'll support Iridium. Thank you so very much for the amazing Add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by 鷺坂忠和, 5 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by tech-tie, 5 years agoUnusable in its current state. The dev is still working on it on GitHub tho, so it may come back.
I mostly just wanted this to blacklist channels, cuz blocking them doesn't seem to work. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12595602, 5 years agoDisable hight frame rate feature doen't work in both old and new version.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mario96, 5 years agoWorks flawless. Although not all features from the older versions are implemented, those which are implemented work flawless, as expected from the author who does an amazing job. I'm looking forward to future development.
Too bad most people give the rewritten version of this addon a negative feedback, but the fact that he now uses a Firefox API to more reliably inject changes to YouTube video player is a very good development. This strengthens this addon and will lead to a much better user experience in the end. Remember when similar addons which claim to disable autoplay actually only pause the video after the page was loaded and if you were unlucky the video was played for first couple of second anyway? (until page loading was finished) This will not happen with this improved injection method. It is really great. I enjoy this so much to never have to worry about any videos starting without my permission. Furthermore this will strengthen Firefox as a browser because this new API is only available in Firefox, not in Chrome.
I'm greatly impressed that the author had the courage to overthrow all legacy code and start a new version of his addon with improved techniques. This is something a lot of developers are afraid to do, and therefore their software dies in complexity.
I cannot understand why people complain because the old addon was broken anyway by recent YouTube changes. So there was nothing to loose.
