Uncensored YouTube is a browser extension for people who rely on captions and want YouTube subtitles to match what was actually spoken. When YouTube hides words behind blanks, the extension restores the missing words where it can.

The goal is accessibility, not shock value. Censored captions can make videos harder to follow, especially for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, because the sentence no longer carries the same meaning.

Some replacements are obvious from the surrounding sentence. When they are not obvious, the extension can use the audio already being played by YouTube to choose the word that best matches the speech. This happens locally in the browser.
