What it really isClearPlay — subscription Chrome extension that auto-skips/mutes explicit content on major streaming services.
Our takeClearPlay is a paid subscription service that installs as a Chrome extension and silently filters language, violence, and sexual content across Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Max.
Families configure filter granularity per category, and the extension handles the rest mid-stream. The service costs $7.99/month or $79.99/year after a 30-day free trial.
Why we rate itRare combination of breadth (five major platforms) and depth (sub-category violence filters) makes it the most configurable family-safe streaming filter available as a simple browser extension.
The catchChrome-only extension (no Firefox or Safari); smart TV support limited to LG and Samsung built-in browsers; filter library is editor-curated, so newer releases may lag.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: install extension, create account, start trial, and filters apply on the next stream within minutes.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Single household subscription with no multi-profile or tiered family pricing — one plan covers the whole household.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: filter preferences live in ClearPlay's ecosystem; switching means reconfiguring category preferences from scratch elsewhere.
