If on your Mac, Chrome installed in the user directory ~/Library
under, want to close the Chrome auto-update, execute the following command:
cd ~/Library/Google
rm -rf GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle
sudo touch GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle
sudo chown root:wheel GoogleSoftwareUpdate
The above command is equivalent to replacing the automatic update program GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle
and modifying the GoogleSoftwareUpdate
owner of its parent directory , so that Google has no authority to execute and repair the update program.
