Browser Dating: A Controversial New App That Uses Your Search History to Find Matches

An artist has launched Browser Dating, a dating app that uses users' browser history to suggest matches. For a one-time fee of €9, users get unlimited matches; a free version limits users to five. The app has sparked debate over privacy and security concerns, although the developer insists data is processed locally and not shared with third parties. While initial user feedback is mixed, the app's unique approach challenges conventional dating app models and raises questions about the intersection of technology, privacy, and personal relationships. The artist's previous work focuses on surveillance and social media, making this latest project a continuation of their exploration of these themes.
