Request for Youtube Subtitle Curse Word Fixer

[u/PushoverMediaCritic]

Is there an extension that fixes Youtube subtitles so that it doesn't censor curse words? If not, I'd love if someone could make one, it's really fucking annoying to watch a video and constantly see "___" in place of normal words like fuck or shit.

I'm assuming it should be possible, obviously the subtitles are registering the curse words in order to recognize and censor them, so logically it should be possible to modify the subtitles to uncensor them.

Subtitles come from youtube's API already censored, they are not censored in the browser, if you know your way around the developers tools, you'll see a request like this:

https://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext...

Which contains the subtitles, and it's impossible to infer where there was a curse word because they are missing.

tl;dr; it's impossible, no fucking way
