Private YouTube safety

Private, on-device YouTube comment safety: shields what kids read, checks what they post, with password-protected controls.

Private YouTube safety is two-way comment safety for kids. It shields what they read in YouTube comments and live chat, and checks what they are about to post. Everything happens on the device. Nothing is sent anywhere. WHAT THEY READ - Shields comments, replies, Shorts comments, and live chat automatically - Covers profanity, bullying and insults, sexual content, slurs, threats and "hurt yourself" comments, contact requests, and scam bait - Safety modes for Young Kids, Pre-Teen, Teen, Classroom, Strict, or your own words only, with a switch for every category - Sees through tricks: repeated letters, leetspeak, spaced-out letters, look-alike characters, and self-censored words - Understands context, so "What does this mean?" and "I hate Mondays" stay readable - Dots out single words, hides a whole comment when it is severe, and never lets a blocked word flash on screen first - Or switch comments, Shorts comments, or live chat off completely WHAT THEY POST - Stops unkind drafts before they are posted, with a gentle nudge instead of a scolding - Personal info guard: stops a draft that shares a phone number, email, address, age, school, "home alone", or an invitation to chat on another app - Add your own private family words (names, school, street). They are checked only on this device and never shown anywhere - Works in the comment box and in live chat FOR PARENTS AND SCHOOLS - Local password with a lockout after wrong guesses and a one-time recovery code - Family dashboard with a private report: what was shielded, in which categories, on which channels, and which drafts were stopped - Review a shielded comment right on the page and allow a false alarm in two clicks - A quiet page indicator that works in dark mode, or hide it entirely - An honest checklist of the ways around a browser extension (Incognito, other profiles) and how to close them - Export and import settings to share with another family or classroom - Schools can force settings from the Google Admin console PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no servers, no analytics. Settings, the report, the stopped-draft log, and a salted password hash stay in this Chrome profile. Comment text, drafts, and passwords are never transmitted.
