When you’re on the Internet, you can never be sure what you will see. Nowadays it’s luckily possible to filter out bad things, which works more or less well
Step 1: Profanity Filter – Filter out bad words
There is a Browser Extension which lets you Filter out every word which you specify. It’s called Profanity Filter and you can install it in your Browser.

And I use a blocklist from this Site https://github.com/dsojevic/profanity-list
I might assemble a custom one later. I recommend not looking at it for one second and just copying it and uploading it to the Filter app. It slows websites down, so I only enable it on sites where bad content is more common.
Step 2: HaramBlur
Blurring out Photos of Women or all Humans, very nice for Youtube etc. It’s a bit slow, not 100% accurate, and sometimes a bit delayed, but any day better than not having it.

The same developer has also made an extension which can filter out music from videos, however it only runs in the Cloud, or Offline on Windows on iOS, so that ain’t gonna work for me.

It sometimes seems like they don’t do much, but whenever I go to a different Browser or Device, I’m reminded how many things I’m not seeing anymore
Bonus: While you are at it, please install an adblocker. uBlock Origin on Firefox

And Whatever Blocker works on Chrome-based Browsers. (Or just any Browser that isn’t Chrome, since these days most Browsers come with an integrated adBlocker anyways)
