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.
