Any way of disabling Chrome updates?
Hi,
I am using Windows 7 and have Google Chrome as my main browser. My windows 8.1 laptop also has Chrome installed.
I have a bit of an issue at the moment: I am currently running Chrome version 44 and do not want to update the browser any further, as from what I have heard, Chrome version 45 will kill off all of my main plugins that I use - with no way of re-enabling them.
What I would like to know is: how can I permanently disable Google Chrome from updating? From what I have found out Chrome 45 will be coming out to the stable channel in a matter of days and I do not want it on my machine as it will break everything that I use Chrome for. I do have Firefox and Pale Moon installed on the laptop but I don't know how to transfer all of my settings, including passwords, apps, extensions etc on to Firefox (from Chrome). Hence my reasoning to stay on an older version of Google Chrome.
Any suggestions on how to fix this (or get all of my stuff, including extensions, passwords, themes etc to Firefox/Pale Moon) will be greatly appreciated - preferably before this Chrome 45 lands on my computer so I can at least stick with Chrome for as long as possible.
Thanks!
