YAF mutes swearwords on YouTube videos. Choose which words you don't want to hear and let YAF take care of the rest!
How YAF works:
- YAF uses the closed caption files attached to YouTube videos to find swearwords and their timings.
- YAF will mute the video when the words you have selected show up in the caption files.
- YAF is only as good as the caption files for each video. If the caption timings are off, then YAF may not perform well.
- If there are no caption files attached to the video, YAF will be unavailable for that video until captions are added.
- YAF only works on youtube.com videos.

- (2022-05-10) Erik Malkavian: GREAT IDEA but it doesn't work. Made sure the filtered words were appearing in the Closed Captioning and no audio was muted.

- (2019-11-16) Милана Шульгина: The app won't work. I've installed the extension and it's turned on in Chrome browser settings.I use thе youtube.com site as shown in your instructions,but when I click on the YAF icon in the top-right corner of the Chrome window there's no Menu item such as "My Filtered Words". Maybe you could deal up with that problem so that I'd change my rate,in addition I consider this app awesome if it really works...

Ever since youtube put out a new update in which closed captions wouldn't read profanity this extension stopped working, a work around would be to add [ __ ] this to your filtered words. Unfortunately the extension won't allow this as a valid word. I know that this filter hasn't been updated in a while but adding this [ __ ] so that users can filter the actual swear words would be much appreciated! - (2021-01-26, v:1.4) Elijah Pelikan: filter this [_]
this will make it work with modern YouTube - (2018-11-04, v:1.3) Samuel C: Does not work at all
When I go to a video with swearing, the extension just does nothing. It's just grayed out. When I click the options button, I just get a blank page. - (2018-09-20, v:1.3) RealTony123: Broken
theres no thing to show what to block out - (2018-08-23, v:1.3) Not filtering swearing
This is a wonderful concept, but after multiple tries I am still having no success with the extension. It isn't filtering on any videos, and I am not getting the "menu" you talk about that is supposed to appear just below the video. I hope you investigate and solve the problem. Thanks.
