Gender Browsing

Posted on March 23, 2009 by Robin

Despite the scary realization that websites can capture your browsing history, Mike Nolet has created a JavaScript that guesses your gender based upon what sites you have visited. I ran mine through, and low and behold it was incredibly accurate…

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 3%

Likelihood of you being MALE is 97%

    The idea is pretty cool and funny but I didn’t feel like to give my browsing history away. Maybe I am being paranoic but I didn’t like this idea.

    Yeah, that was probably the scarier part.

    Pretty useless tool..I know what I am and I don’t need some tool to tell me that. Actually is just guessing,not telling!

    LOL! Funny tool! I actually tried it but there’s something wrong with it. Some sites are present which I never visit.
