In plain words

Don't Name the Shooter is a Chrome extension launched in 2015 that addresses media coverage of mass shooting incidents. The tool is designed for general internet users concerned about responsible journalism. It works by automatically removing or obscuring references to shooter names on web pages, helping reduce the amplification of perpetrators' identities in news reporting and online discussions.
