Temporary "uncensor" button for audio muting

:loudspeaker: The Shortcoming

Hello! Ever since you added the audio muting feature, I've wondered how I lived without it. However, there are some instances where I would like to know what was said, but without disabling the filter and skipping to that point. Most of the time it's obvious, but for others, it isn't.

:microscope: Describe the solution you'd like

Something that I think would word is either a popup that rewinds the video to that point and doesn't mute for a set time period (for example 5-10s). Another option is to add an option to the context menu to "uncensor last word", which skips to when the word was said, doesn't mute it, then mutes all words after that.

:triangular_ruler: Describe alternatives you've considered

One thing I have found built into the YouTube player is the mute button (or the M key). If you can press it twice rapidly, you can unmute the audio until the next word is filtered. However, this isn't perfect, and especially with the filler sounds turned on, it doesn't work as well.

This is an interesting idea. I personally usually get the gist of what is being said by reading the filtered captions, but I can see how that might not always work for everyone. I don't have much time to work on this feature right now, but I'll try to make some time soon. Off the top of my head, I think the context menu is probably the easiest to implement, so I'll probably start with that. If you have any other details or scenarios, feel free to add them here as a comment.
