Coincidence Detector: Useful Browser Extension That Can Help You Detect Total Cohencidences

[Emergent13]

I've been using this extension for four years and wanted to share it. I think it's very useful.

"The Coincidence Detector is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera that uses word replacement to echo Jewish names."

The Original (((Coincidence Detector)))

I couldn't find the source code, but here is a fork of the original extension that is open source and has been updated recently.

Here are a few news articles mentioning the extension:

Google bans plug-in that picks out Jews

Google bans an extension of its Chrome browser which was being used to identify Jewish names on the internet by surrounding them with three sets of brackets.

Note: I am not affiliated with the extension. I just wanted to share. If you are privacy conscious, which is a good thing, use the open source version!

I used to use this extension around 2016/2017 and have sometimes wondered if it still existed!

Too bad I work with online classes where I often share my browser screen with my students. Don't wanna risk having the extension turned on by accident and having students wonder why it is that some names show up surrounded by triple parentheses lol. It's a real good tool, though.

In general, it's a good idea to use one browser for work-related things and another for personal use.

However, you don't need a separate browser, you can use multiple profiles on the same browser and install different extensions on each profile.

Search "using multiple profiles" followed by the name of your browser to find guides. It should take no more than three minutes to set up.

Your students are lucky to have a Zevist teacher!

Thank you for the words and the tip I don't usually get into browser customization at all, but this simple touch of having separate browser profiles is actually functional and will further aid me in setting apart my working and personal modes from now on. Besides of course allowing me to use the coincidence detector once again.
