Iridium is back with v2.0!
Enjoy a more personalized experience on YouTube with Iridium, an extension packed with multiple features that allows you to tailor the website look, feel, and behavior tuned to your taste, such as controlling nuisances by managing ads, blocking channels, and disabling shorts, automate tedious tasks by enforcing your preferred video quality and speed of choice, as well as disable autoplay, 60fps, and loudness normalization, enhance navigation by going to your subscriptions when clicking on the YouTube logo and automatically go to a default tab when clicking on a channel name, and so much more.
The extension also offers an option to show on Youtube pages an Iridium button that opens the extension settings as a convenience so you don't have another extension button on your browser toolbar all the time.

Latest reviews
- (2023-11-07) Ayumu Belfegor: Reverse playlist not working anymore
- (2023-07-24) Sytry: Mostly broken. The only feature that seems to be working is showing the video on scroll... Everything else doesn't work or makes youtube throw an error... Shame
- (2023-03-10) Spocckce Delton: I remembered installing this extension back in 2019, but sadly, it hasnt been updated since then.
- (2022-12-14) Skine: garbage, make youtube slower and unusable as videos dont play
- (2022-11-29) Daniel Doubleday: Unfortunately broken. Does not play videos anymore
- (2022-10-09) Kabie: it's okay, but i don't use it cuz videos don't play at the first time and i needed to refresh the page every time🦽
- (2022-10-01) Robbie Lane: Loved it but appears to no longer work with the latest Chrome update. YouTube videos will not start when enabled but will when disabled.
- (2022-08-29) OrochiTabris: Installed it primarily for the ability to reverse the order of playlists (everything else would be bonus features) since some channels set them in order of newest-to-oldest and manually remaking them in oldest-to-newest is tedious. This was specifically mentioned as a feature offered by this extension, but I couldn't find it anywhere after installing it. Also, I couldn't get videos to play. Breaking YouTube while it's installed is kind of a deal-breaker.
- (2022-07-08) cam: no longer works
- (2022-04-24) CoverEye: Would be really cool if it worked, but videos stopped playing all together after adding the extension.
- (2021-12-09) Chris Vydas: endless buffering when enabled, had to uninstall just to get videos to play once more!
- (2021-12-08) احمد المطوع: Does not work. Do not bother. Just rubbish.
- (2021-12-03) Eli S: totally broken now
- (2021-08-24) Number_055: It was a great extension up until about a year ago, when it broke and was never fixed. Still has a handful of useful features, but it's not worth installing anymore.
- (2021-05-07) Nobody: My complaint about the video not loading or playing has already been stated by many here.
- (2021-04-30) Paris: Awful. Nothing works. The autoplay stopper can't be used because it stops the video from playing altogether. The scroll for volume doesn't work. Nothing. Works.
- (2021-04-03) Michael Hraba: I should say... loved it. But it's broken. Video buffer wheel just goes and goes... this extension broke for me around April 2nd, out of NOWHERE. So if you're confused... yup, this extension is dead and no longer supported.
- (2021-03-28) sneed: the extension is officially dead
- (2021-03-19) Illés Manzéger: videos dont start
- (2021-03-16) Stuart Olsson: Doesn't work at all. Can't play any videos. People have been saying it'll be fixed since 2019 and that hasn't happened. The app is dead. Don't bother downloading it
- (2021-02-22) K. P. R.: A extensão causa erros recorrentes na visualização dos vídeos. A ideia e as funcionalidades são boas, mas terei que procurar outra extensão similar, visto que esta, ao que parece, foi abandonada pelo suporte.
- (2021-02-19) Jordan Quinn-Mckenzie: its 2021 and the youtube videos still wont play- you have to refresh.
- (2021-01-21) Duxast 33: Добавляю канал в чёрный список , но видео с этого канала не исчезают , в чёрном списке он числится . Как решить проблему ?
- (2020-12-17) idnani: C'était une super extension, mais elle n'est plus mise à jour depuis deux ans. Vu que Youtube évolue quant à lui tout le temps, la plupart des fonctionnalités ne marchent juste plus.
- (2020-11-26) Tomasz Rzepa: Needs an update, videos dont start.
- (2020-10-30) Użytkownik Google: Iridium + uBlock/AdGuard = autoplay error (https://i.imgur.com/U8vICep.png). If we disable uBlock we have ads, if we disable Iridium all works fine - no ads, autoplay. Weird.
- (2020-08-31) Valentin Maupin: Extension au top quand je l'ai téléchargé mais se dégrade chaque mois qui passe. Les fonctionnalités sont cassées et mes vidéos youtube ont du mal à se lancer (écran gris et je suis obligé de rafraichir la page pour que la vidéo se lance).
- (2020-07-30) divyx: L'extension était très bonne au début, mais au fur et à mesure, certaines fonctionnalités se sont mis à buger, et l'extension m'empêche même de regarder correctement une vidéo, je suis obligé d'actualiser la page pour voir une vidéo. Dommage car l'extension était vraiment intéressante mais il faudrait faire une misa à jour.
- (2020-07-16) Yonder: For those having issues with videos playing wether "Play video automatically" is enabled or disabled, install the "Stop Youtube Autoplay" Version 1.3, ID: npcghnpganhnghapekiicaeiobnhbbfa. Make sure to click the extension icon and set the switch to ON. Clicking on a YouTube link initially will cause the video not to play. However, when you reload, it will play and any other youtube pages you navigate from this reloaded page will also have the video play. It's not a perfect solution but it's the best one for those who don't want to abandon this extension.
- (2020-07-15) Nomini Nom: its all great and stuff but comments not showing by themselves and having to click them on every video is a bit annoying and there is no setting to disable that
- (2020-04-10) mons484: Extension is now Firefox only and has broken after the recent YouTube update. Autoplay is broken and throws "An error occurred" message causing you to refresh the page each time. It would have been nice not having to go to GitHub, dig through closed bug reports to find that the project was abandoned. Devs don't have time, I won't deny that, but I'm sure one can find 5 minutes to update the chrome web store description.
- (2020-04-06) gon 911: уже неделю при переходе на новое видео пишет ошибка, повторите попытку позже, и номер ошибки каждый раз меняется, при обновлении страницы видео начинается воспроизведение
- (2020-04-06) Ed: Very good extension, but it breaks every video so I have to refresh the page to watch the video. Please fix.
- (2020-04-06) Mikkohardy: Very good extension but when playing youtube videos i have to refresh every video
- (2020-04-04) Hassan Zakai: Developer abandoned the chrome version.
- (2020-04-03) Duncan: Dev doesn't support chrome
- (2020-04-03) Keanan Smith: Youtube has changed something in their script which causes videos to not play when using this extension. The developer of this extension has abandoned the Chrome Version of this plugin and is hostile to those who submit bug reports on their Github.
- (2020-04-01) Alex00712: It was great and worked flawlessly until just recently. now I have to refresh the page to play the video (Unless I middle click to open in new tab, cause then it works as expected. For some unknown reason) I would hope for this issue to be resolved soon, cause I really like it otherwise. Edit:Recently found out the dev has moved to firefox only, It was good while it still worked at least...
- (2020-03-31) ViNiCiUs: Extensão muito boa! É uma pena o desenvolvedor ter a abandonado o suporte ao Chrome, e manter o suporte a extensão apenas no Concorrente..
- (2020-03-30) Zyn Lrm: This used to be (mostly) great. The autoplay feature has always been broken for me (if you don't allow autoplay then video will not play at all .... ever) but the rest of the features worked well. But now it's just more trouble than it's worth. It regularly breaks video playback (you just get a black screen with 'An error occurred' in the playback window and have to refresh the window several times) it also completely breaks the playlist view in the 'Up Next' side panel and causes other problems. It's not had an update in a long time (script version) and the Firefox extension version is utterly useless because it has pretty much no features whatsoever.
- (2020-03-30) GMBJLL: В новом интерфейсе не работает управление плейлистом. Качал зря.
- (2020-03-30) Andrei Korbut: The plugin is buggy as hell. Play button just doesn't respond to clicks. It can be fixed by switching autoplay on, but this way is not obvious. Nothing personal, but do I really have to google just to watch a video? Also switching between videos in a playlist using the right side menu causes "try again later" error that dissapears after page reloading.
- (2020-03-28) Shiki -: 요즘들어 에러가 발생하고 있는데 빠른 해결 부탁드립니다.
- (2020-03-27) Paulo D'Andréa: Doesn't work anymore, every video crashes saying "something went wrong" and user needs to reload the page for the video to load. There hasn't been an update for over a year. Look for something else, this one is completely abandoned.
- (2020-03-27) FC맷돌: 재생목록 역순으로 하려고 깔았는데 재생목록에 아이콘들이 다 사라져버리네요, 혹시 레드랑 충돌이있나요?? 필요한 기능을 쓸수가 없습니다..
- (2020-03-27) 아링: 최근들어 재생목록 이용시 에러가 발생하고있어요 확장자를 제거 하니 재생목록이 재생되네요 이 문제를 빨리 해결해주면 좋겠습니다
- (2020-03-23) Dorian Leroux: Application intéressante quand elle n'empêche pas les vidéos de se lire ce qui est maintenant le cas pour beaucoup de monde apparemment...
- (2020-03-22) Phuc Trinh: keep having this error "An error occurred. Please try again later." every time opening a new video, have to refresh for the video to play.
- (2020-03-21) Stainbine Jahblontski: Playback Issues abound. I like several of the features offered with this extension, several of which are not offered by other youtube overhaul extensions, but several issues may arise when using this extension. I have tested this by disabling my other extensions and isolated this particular extension as the only factor in the issues. This may be due to me using the old [VASTLY superior] youtube layout, but iridium should be programmed to work with the old layout if that is the problem, I'd imagine people using this extension would prefer the old layout. Videos may not play [they may just have the youtube logo and triangle ontop of a black screen with an unplayable video], the video might be stuck loading on a black screen, or every video will start off with a playback error [[An error occured. Please try again later. (Playback ID: X) Learn More]] on a grey screen requiring a refresh of the page for every video watched. Also, it sometimes seems the extension slows down video loading at first, maybe it'll take a few more seconds to stop the loading animation before the video starts, but this is just a light observation, without iridium though is seems to load smoothly and quick. The issues stop entirely after disabling the extension, and I have many other extensions that work perfectly fine together so they are not the problem themselves. The issue (only one at any time) changed for me when disabling and renabling the extension, I recently had constant playback errors on every video, but now after refreshing the extension it can't play the videos. I liked this extension previously, but many issues have plagued it in recent times, so for that reason its probably more trouble than its worth and I'll give it a 2/5, when it works as intended it'd get a 4/5. Also the reverse playlist function is broken, even across all different youtube extensions like improve youtube; it always scrambles and breaks the playlist once it reaches the 21st video, if this is possible to fix [maybe not since its a universal youtube playlist issue] it should be considered. As I was writing this I did get a playback error without iridium, but I will say it seemed to not be nearly as consistent as it was the last two days before messing around with my extensions; this might be from refreshing iridium so it seemed to clean up the playback error issue. The issues are inconsistent now. Still quite sure iridium had something to do with most of the issues. Still a dumpster fire of a once great youtube extension, it just doesn't work well anymore [it once did] at all.
- (2020-03-21) Tristan Studenberg: Downloaded for the reverse playlist option, couldn't find the reverse playlist button literally anywhere on the page, and the extension also manages to break the youtube player half the time.
