Iridium is a free extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that lets you improve your YouTube experience. It is quite simple to use, and below we detail the most important options so you can customize YouTube to your liking.
It is known that YouTube does not offer many options to customize its service. But all that changes with Iridium, a free extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that lets you improve your YouTube experience. Once you download and install it, Iridium will ask you for permission to access the YouTube domain only, without requesting any other permissions. Once the permission is accepted, an extension icon will appear in the browser toolbar, where you can click to open its settings and start customizing YouTube.
Iridium's sections
The options of Iridium are divided into four sections: General, Video, Settings and Donate. The option General only has a handful of configurations, quite useful but none to highlight. Instead, things change with Video, where most of the available preferences are found, such as showing or not the number of uploaded videos, control of playlists, default video quality, if you want videos to play automatically, allow comments, subtitles or advertising in videos, as well as enable advertising on channels you are subscribed to, among other options to improve your experience on the site.
Video overlay
The best thing about this extension is that when you are on YouTube it shows you the video in a smaller overlay when you scroll down, making the video always visible, very useful when you want to read comments without losing sight of it. Although you may have seen most of the options in other YouTube extensions for Firefox or Chrome, Iridium stands out for supporting some settings that seem to be unique; it's just a matter of trying the options to customize the service to your liking. Iridium is an extension that is available to download for free on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
