Question Ranking
Pros
Pro The developer particlecore is a respected github open source programmer and he presents all the functionality for free
Keeps up with updating bugs regularly. Always comments on 'issues' on git.
Pro Lightweight youtube.com enhancer and user experience editor
It does not overwhelm you with too many options, so you do not have difficulty choosing or having to try loads of different setups to get it just right. However the most important features are there.
Pro The extensions from the chrome store is also available on firefox & waterfox
If using a script manager it is usable across a whole range of browsers. There is a free script available to be used in browser script managers like ''Tampermonkey" which includes all functions of the addon through the script injections.
Pro Pins the video to a corner of the screen if you scroll down
With this feature you can read the entire page without ever losing sight of the video.
Pro Control the volume with the mouse wheel anytime the cursor is over the player
This is especially handy in videos where there's a lot of dynamic in volume levels, unlike the slider at the bottom you can raise or lower it almost before you're finished forming the thought to do so. It also allows you to set a default start volume for all videos instead of the usual 100%.
Pro Specify your preferred resolutions
Ever had a network-heavy process running while watching YouTube and had the site start loading videos at a grainy resolution instead of taking an extra few seconds to buffer adequately at a higher one? Not anymore with this extension! You can set up to four resolutions in order of preference and it will ensure that if any are available for that video it will use them rather than adapt.
Cons
Con Iridium is currently on hold
The current build includes a bug which seems to break youtube functionality. However after a bit of searching, a solution can be found. Posted here to help others who might be debugging all their extensions for youtube not loading videos.
The solution for many seems to be to keep the autoplay function within Iridium settings ON.
Now your videos will most likely load and play again like they should.
