Mute the language. Skip the scenes. Keep the movie.
ViewersCut mutes, skips or blacks out the moments you choose on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+ and YouTube, using open lists made by other viewers.
Try it on Sintel
Pick a moment, then change what happens to it. The extension does the same thing on Netflix and the rest.
Sintel has no swearing, so try muting “dragon”.
Sintel © Blender Foundation, CC BY 3.0, durian.blender.org. The moments come from its ViewersCut list. The muted word comes from the film’s own captions.

ViewersCut finds the list for what you're watching. A small notice says what it changed, so you can always watch anyway.
Your filters

Free, private, and on your side.
Free
No subscription, no trial, no ads. You watch on the services you already pay for.
Private
No account to make and no tracking. Your filters stay in your browser. Details
The film stays untouched
ViewersCut only controls playback in your browser. It never copies or edits the video.
Open
Lists are public-domain files and the code is public. Anyone can check a list, fix it or build on it.
Lists are made by viewers like you.
Mark a scene while you watch by pressing [ and ], nudge a timing until it sounds right, and send it. Your edits stay on your computer until you choose to send them. Every change is public, and anything that removes or shortens a moment waits for a second reviewer.
A list describes what happens and when. It never says what to do: your filters decide that.
Questions
- Which browsers does it work in?
- Chrome on a computer today. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge and Brave should work too. Firefox and Safari aren't supported yet.
- Does it work on my TV or phone?
- An Android app for phones and Android TV is in early testing. On iPhone, iPad and other TVs, not yet.
- What if there's no list for my movie?
- Make one yourself with the editor built into the extension, while you watch. Even one tagged moment helps the next viewer.
- Do I still need Netflix, Disney+ and the rest?
- Yes. You watch on your own subscriptions. ViewersCut doesn't provide any films.
- Who makes the lists, and can I trust them?
- Volunteers. Every change is public, new moments go live quickly, and removals or shortened timings need a second reviewer. If a list misses something, fix it from the editor.
