Extension Usage Instructions
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.
