Chrome Extension duplicate detection
The Chrome Extension has logic where it will match duplicates based on a matching LinkedIn URL, which is incredibly awesome.
However, this duplicate detection seems to be a “contains” match instead of a “full/exact” match. With the logic being contains, there are duplicates that can be registered that are incorrect.
For example- the 2 links below are 2 separate people, but the LinkedIn URLs flagged a duplicate since all of Chris Martinez’s URL is contained in Chris Martyn’s.
Chris Martyn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrismartyn/
Chris Matinez: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrismart/

It looks like we remove the “/” at the end in Crelate, which may be part of the problem as well.
