Very glad to see that Iridium is back! I tried Nova Youtube, Enhancer for Youtube and Improve Youtube but I am staying with Iridium.

Actually works with the new layout, and the theater mode with full viewport video and sliding top bar is the best implementation so far. Glad you're back. Small recommendation: Option to hide the scroll bar, so the video can actually use full width. Or even make it pop-in on top.
