Good news, the racist's app is no longer available online.

"Coincidence Detector": The Google Chrome Extension White Supremacists Use to Track Jews
Cooper Fleishman and Anthony Smith June 02, 2016:

A Google Chrome plugin with the seemingly innocent name of "Coincidence Detector" has one sole purpose: compiling and exposing the identities of Jews and others who are perceived as "anti-White." Drawing from a user-generated list of Jewish names, the extension works in the background while users browse the web and encases the names in three sets of parentheses — i.e., (((Fleishman))) — on web pages.

As Mic detailed in a story earlier this week, white supremacists have begun using the construction, called an &quot ((echo)))," to single out Jewish figures in media and entertainment for harassment online, particularly on Twitter.

............. The extension, which is in use by 2,473 users and boasts a rating of 5 out of 5 stars, is currently available for download in the Google Chrome store. (Update: As of 6:35 AM Eastern on June 3, 2016, after Mic published this story, the Coincidence Detector app appears to have been removed from the Google Chrome store.) It is connected to a database of names that is regularly updated. With the click of a button, users are able to refresh Coincidence Detector to make sure their list of known Jews and other "anti-whites" reflects the most recent additions to the database. ...............
