About MuteBadWords: Filter Bad Words on YouTube
MuteBadWords automatically mutes words you do not want to hear while watching YouTube.
Choose what you want to filter using simple categories, including strong swear words, mild swear words, insults, sexual words, hateful language, religious expressions, and softer substitutes.
You can also add your own words and phrases, allow specific words that you do not want filtered, and choose how filtered moments sound.
Censor sound options include silence, beeps, fun sounds, or your own custom sound.
MuteBadWords uses the English captions available for each YouTube video to find filtered words and mute them at the right time.
Features:
• Automatic filtering while watching YouTube
• Standard, Strict, and Custom filter levels
• Separate language categories
• Custom words and phrases
• Allowed-word exceptions
• Optional censor sounds
• Custom sound upload
• Works while visible YouTube captions are turned off
• Handles seeking, pausing, playback speed changes, and moving between videos
• Settings stay on your device
• No account required
• No ads or tracking
MuteBadWords depends on the captions provided by YouTube. If a spoken word is missing from the captions or the caption timing is inaccurate, that moment may not be filtered perfectly.
MuteBadWords is currently in beta.
