- masklinn 14y ago> Chrome updates automatically. So how does he/she avoid auto update? Kill the auto-update daemon, remove it, prevent it from re-installing itself (by creating an empty "GoogleSoftwareUpdate" directory with write bits unset in place of the removed one). Done.

Ofcourse, Linux is more easily controlled especially if you aren't running a package-manager installed version of Chrome.
