An updated list of minimum security iot things is a good start. Those get shady fast.

I opted out of the Firefox/Android data collection setting. Then I was recently updated to the new Firefox Beta: https://snipboard.io/139WEH.jpg Privacy not included.

Is this based on votes?

What is Mozilla doing? They are endorsing the 'Google Home'? The 'Ring Doorbell'? Products from Nest? I guess it makes sense, with the amount of money they get from Google- they have to.

While these devices might have encryption, security updates, etc, many of the devices listed ABUSE user privacy. Many of the devices here ARE creepy!

I could provide 10 links as proof, but it's not even worth the time. You can go ahead and 'Google' the proof.

This is horrible.

Edit- want some proof? Listen to these: https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/TD

This is great and helpful, thank you Mozilla!

If anyone that worked on this reads this, a suggestion: Please rank products based on Mozilla's rating and not user supplied sentiment.

For example, it's hard to make sense of products that are "very creepy" or "somewhat creepy" yet have 4/5 or 5/5 overall security rating from Mozilla.

It's not clear unless you really look that creepiness rating is not from Mozilla.

I've seen many submission reach front page that had roughly 1 vote/min in the first 2 hours.

What I don't understand is why I have directories in Mozilla for every website that I have ever visited. These are under /{user}/.mozilla/seamonkey/{profile_name}.default/storage/default/ Inside this structure is a database. Local Storage is unacceptable. I have my security setting buttoned down. "Always clear my private data when I close Seamonkey" is set and includes all settings. How is a site by site sqlite database file different than cookies. To me it seems worse. At least delete the files when I close the browser.

I have become dis-illusioned with the Mozilla project.

You didn't look very closely at the website and just jumped to conclusions, didn't you?

They rank all the ones you mentioned as "Super creepy".
