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.

It wasn't working on the brave browser. I tested one YT video were it used the F*** word ten times within ten seconds, but it remained untouched.

Dont listen to the other reviews. This actually work and I didnt believe it at first, you have to go in the settings and set it to what you want to be censored. Now I am able to watch youtubers who swear and not be able to hear them.
