Re:My mouse driver is asking for a firewall exemption (2019)

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.
