This extension filters profanity words in Netflix. It both censors the subtitles and mutes the audio on the appropriate sentence. With customizable profanity word list.

To use this, subtitles in Netflix need to be turned on. Because the filtering is based on the subtitles, make sure you add profanity words to the list in the language of the subtitles.

Joshua Church 2021-12-21: Takes a little bit to get started, but works well. I noticed it will blank out the audio for whatever chunk of text is in the subtitle, not just the offending word. Have you considered integration with a service like put.io? That would really expand its utility! And thanks!

Jill Timoney 2021-11-26: This filter is not working. I have added the words, in the format provided and saved them. In the Netflix app, I have turned on the subtitles in Netflix and the profanity just continues. When I go to Netflix through the Chrome browser, the subtitles shrink to a strange line with, widely tiny spaced letters and there's no sound of voices at all. Please can someone help.

Pickle Jarz 2021-09-17: Great app for teachers! Often documentaries are rated mature because of language which is unfortunate because there are so many good ones that cant be shown in class. This app allows me to share clips without worry. Thank you!

Stacey Wamsteker 2021-08-22: is there something i am supposed to do to activate this? I added the extension to chrome and restarted the browser but it isn't working. If there is something else I need to do to make it work I will make the changes and give a higher rating.

Robin Pate 2021-05-31: It allows the F word and other profanity but filters out God and Jesus. God and Jesus are not profanity and if you are going to filter out God and Jesus then you need to filter out Islam, Buddhism, Muhammed and other religious words. Stop censoring the only true way to Heaven.

BluesCat 2021-03-14: This is amazing! Now I can watch anime cleanly safely! But problem is... I can't seem to add words to the list of blocked profanities. The dang thing (The plugin) is greyed out. 😞

Gavin Cruz 2021-03-09: After I downloaded the extension, it was working I think but I'm not sure if I can recall that it was all the time but then when I tinkered with the options regarding the words that should not be allowed, it sometimes work (if my memory is correct) but I think it no longer does. Should I just undo what I did in the options?

Charine Burger 2020-09-23: We had issues with watching Netflix, as all shows have profanity and uses the Lord's name in vain. Now we can watch without the profanity.

Lenzo Corner 2020-08-29: It works as advertised which is nice but I would like to know if there is a way for the audio to only blot out the audio of the blocked word and not the whole sentence and resume audio quicker?

Kalani Farley 2020-04-01: It wouldn't work for me; I added words, checked and double checked that I formatted them correctly. I closed Chrome, even rebooted my computer. I made sure Netflix's subtitles were on, but the cussing still came right through. Am I doing something wrong? Please let me know! I'm using the Netflix browser (I tried the app you can download, too; didn't work), I have subtitles on, I restarted Chrome, I clicked save when I added words to the blacklist.

Sunflower Dougherty 2019-09-08: Please help... this extension is not working properly. Using the latest version of Chrome "76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)" on Windows 10 and with the Netflix English subtitles [CC] turned on with this extension active, it will play the audio and subtitles for just like one or two seconds, then all of the sudden the following two lines of code display on the screen very tiny ***<***s***p***a***n*** ***s***t***y***l***e***=***"***f***o***n***t***-***s***i***z***e***=***3***8***p***x***.***l***i***n***e***-***h***e***i***g***h***t***=***n***o***r***m**a***l*** and it goes on and there's another duplicate line below that. As soon as the code looking stuff appears real tiny across the screen in place of the larger subtitles, immediately the audio is silenced basically from then on. Is there a way to fix this?

Laurie 2019-04-26: A good idea (especially if you make subtitles smaller and transparent in the netflix settings) but too often it doesn't mute long enough. For example in "the making of the mob S1 E1" at 11:03 the filter kicks in for "oh" and stars out the following blaspheme but the audio kicks back in for the word it is trying to filter. A "duration of mute" option to extend it, or mute for the position of the word in the subtitles would be better. I played with the "ms" option for checking the subtitles but this just made it haphazard in the detection so isn't the answer. 2 words, the last one to me muted, mute for the latter 50% of the duration of the subtitle.
