YouTube Audio Filtering Extension

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.

Erik Malkavian (ID: 000000ddccdfe2a8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/10/2022 GREAT IDEA but it doesn't work. Made sure the filtered words were appearing in the Closed Captioning and no audio was muted.

Милана Шульгина (ID: 000000ebd7769640) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/16/2019 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...
