Re:My mouse driver is asking for a firewall exemption (2019) by thewebcount on Monday August 23, 2021 @12:27PM (#28278333)
I came here to post the same thing. I've been using Logitech mice for something like 20 years on my Mac and have never once installed a driver. I recently learned the some Wacom tablets drivers request network access. WTF? There's no legit reason for a driver to need network access. There could be a separate program that checks for updates and prompts the user to install them if desired. It shouldn't be part of the driver, though.

Wacom drivers are known to be problematic.

Wacom tablets track every app you open, last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22247292
