- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13960627, 5 years agoWhat's the point of releasing something that works halfa$$ (it's not even half, more like 1/10 of an a$$). Completely ruined plugin.
- Rated 1 out of 5by chriscl, 5 years agoParticleCore, what are you even doing? You have just updated an addon with everything removed. Why didn't you just NOT release the addon, add the features then release it? Good luck with the negative reviews buddy
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rimyo, 5 years agoThank you, with the latest update my favorite feature has been added again but even better than before, whenever you hover-over the video's thumbnail, it will give you a preview of the video in a gif like style, which is awesome, than you again

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15330707, 5 years agoLike many people are saying, the new update completely ruined this.
Installing the older version doesn't work either, it just keeps resetting the settings back to default every time you change them...
Was it really necessary to remove all features while you rewrite the extension, instead of leaving the previous version up? - Rated 1 out of 5by Tukaram, 5 years agoHas been a great add-on for a long time. The new "update" removed all features. Why push an update through that does not work? They need to revert it, until they finish rebuilding it. A blank menu page... is a sick joke.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Patrice, 5 years agoI do not understand why the developer did an update when the older version with all the features was working nicely and now the version 1.0.0 removed all these features.
The reason? he re-write it from scratch...
Imagine my GNOME or KDE or MATE desktop showing me only the terminal after an update because they re-write it from scratch... or GIMP removing all keyboards shortcut as well as the "Colors" and "Tools" menu because they re-write it from scratch? (and they re-write it from almost scratch)
In comparison it's what you did!
That's not how you should behave as a software developer... You gave features, then you remove all...
This behavior will got you only negative review which will made your extension appears far at the end in no time when searching a youtube extension, which also mean people will try others extensions instead, and once people have tested others extensions they will forget you...
Plus, the 0.2.5 version in the Version history need to be re-installed every time you open Firefox even if you select to NOT update automatically (Firefox detect after a re-start of itself, that the iridium is not the latest version and disable it)
Why i kept the 5 stars. I am still asking myself... - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13955374, 5 years agoI enjoyed this extension for a long while but I cannot understand why push an update that obviously isn't ready, like what's the point?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15328466, 5 years agoWhy was this great extension just screwed up for no reason?

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dan F., 5 years agoTried rolling back to 0.2.5 but videos no longer play, even with all adblockers off. They just stay with their thumbnails on and the play button showing.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14519012, 5 years agoHow do I get the last version back? Surely we can install an older version?
1 star for version 1
5 starts for the version beforeDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoThe previous versions are available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/particle-iridium/versions/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15326925, 5 years agoThe previous update had features. I can understand the dev wanting to start from scratch BUT WHY push an update out that makes the extension useless. Should of kept the old version up and worked on the new version behind the scenes. Releasing once its got most of the features. I for one will be deactivating this now useless plugin. it literally does nothing now
- Rated 1 out of 5by sgdl-pers, 5 years agoI loved being able to blacklist channels. Main word being LOVED. With the new update, that had NO WARNING by the way, everything is gone. No warning for an update that removes everything, if this were a paid product someone would have been fired and rightly so.
Everything functionally useful was removed, dark theme and auto play are still there buy why even bother with it for those when theyre parts of youtube or mimiced by dozens of other extensions.
Dont bother with this version.
FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEIR SETTINGS BACK
Go to your firefox profile folder then to \browser-extension-data\iridium@particlecore.github.io and open the file, copy everything after {"iridiumSettings": and ignore the last } and you have the old settings back. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5509417, 5 years ago1.0.0 just does not work. Hope to fix it.
I’ll leave the rating for the previous one. - Rated 3 out of 5by MonJoh, 5 years ago***EDIT : Slowly going back to normal***
All went tits up with the new update. All options are gone, nothing works anymore except dark theme... - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12632998, 5 years agoThe 1.0.0 Update ruined this plugin for now.
I went back to 0.2.5 but my blacklist is gone.
The blacklist feature was the main selling point for me and many others. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13884462, 5 years agoI like how refined the newer version looks so far, but of course I'll be sticking to an older version until the features I consider essential are implemented. Thanks for the continual support.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15325652, 5 years agoI use this for the blacklist. Now the update today has completely broken that feature. It's just gone. I saw a response to a review that suggesting using an old version, so I did that, but the blacklist that I spent months building is just gone. Why is it gone?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Wombort, 5 years agoThe nuked features were re-added so I feel it's important to come back and adjust the review.

posted 5 years agoThe new version 1.0.0 has undergone huge changes and comes with few features with every new release, but if you want to use the previous version you can find it here still https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/particle-iridium/versions/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15325064, 5 years agoIt's been working great for my purposes until just a few minutes ago, the logo has become black and clicking on it says 404 not found. I tried disabling and re-enabling it, but to avail. Prolly needs a quick update (no updates showing right now) and it'll be up and running again. Recommended.
