pretty great for my OCD but recently has been muting swear words on youtube none of which are on my list. It's still censoring the words on my list but is adding words that aren't there, but only when censoring audio.

Thanks for taking the time to review. The only reason I can think of for that behavior is if in the YouTube captions the video has "[ _ ]". That is a form of censoring that YouTube does when they automatically generate captions, and its kind of a fill when they come across several different "curse" words. APF is including "[ _ ]" automatically on YouTube, and right now there isn't a way to turn it off. If that is the issue though, I'm happy to add a way to disable that if you'd like.

UPDATE: The new option has been added (Options page > Audio tab > Mute pre-censored captions on YouTube)
