This is a good resource, but the presentation needs work. The big emoji smiley face on top implies that all the products listed below are "good," but you have to actually click through on the product to see the actual rating (like Amazon's Ring Doorbell is rated by users as "Super Creepy"). The explanation of their Minimum Security Standards is pretty helpful and reasonable though: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/about/meets-minimum-security-standards https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/about/m... This reminds me of Mozilla's Observatory project (https://observatory.mozilla.org/ https://observatory.mozilla.org/) in a more consumer-focused package. I just wish they'd make it less confusing.

The smiley face actually changes as you scroll down. It’s kind of confusing

  Only if you have JavaScript enabled, which people who care about privacy are less likely to do. And even then it's not clear which products it applies to.

  Another issue - there's no way to see user votes without actually voting, which encourages people to leave the vote in the "neutral" state and click through if they just want to see the results. In almost every case I saw, perfect Neutral was skewed very highly so this UX is clearly polluting the results.

Seemed intuitive to me. It's a descending listing of least creepy to most creepy - the emoji changes as you scroll to denote this. If you leave the page and return the emoji will show as a smile until you scroll again, regardless of location on the page, but otherwise I don't see your first point.
