Going back to earlier versions of Chrome and keeping them from updating

[Cindy Large]

My company's bank is "updating" their user platform and will not allow access with any versions of Chrome past version 33.  I am currently on version 34 (and see it will be updating to 35 at some point in the future).  How do I go back to 33 and keep it from updating automatically until the bank is ready for it?  I NEED to access this bank platform for my job.

Going back now may be hard unless you still have the 33 installer around.

See this article to turn auto-updates off:

Note that using an old browser, which is no longer receiving updates or
security fixes, for banking... is a very bad idea.

Downloading an old version of Google Chrome from filehippo isn't working for me on Linux. Whatever version I select redirects to the popup for installing the current stable version.

I'm eager to get away from Chrome 35 because it's very broken on my system. Corrupt rendering (which the --disable-repaint-after-layout option doesn't fix, and which requires constant switching between tabs to force a repaint), failure to load pages (in part or in total), a crashing PDF plugin, and problems with some of my extensions.

Can anyone point out a place I can get a 64-bit RPM of Chrome 34, or let me know how long I need to hold out for 36?

Thanks.

Running an outdated version of a web browser (any web browser!) is a bad idea anyway.

That's probably crbug.com/362603. Try "ulimit -n 8192" before starting Chrome.

I'd recommend to stay away from flags. They're mostly for debugging.

New stable versions are released every six weeks. Check the bug tracker to see if your issues are already known or fixed, feel free to file new bugs if they haven't been reported yet. (Hint: more detail than "problems with some of my extensions" wouldn't hurt.)

Thanks.

True, but it's harsh to take away a downgrade option for those without the presence of mind to save the installation package of each version. If only to allow bugs to be better pinpointed to releases.

Wow, that fixed all my issues. I never came across that Issue in all my searching. I've added a comment to the best match I could find, pointing to this bug.

I see the scenario now:

1. Google Maps started giving problems in Chrome 34, which I fixed by turning off the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option. (I was already running with the --ignore-gpu-blacklist flag.)
2. This greatly increased core file use, triggering all the other problems.
3. These forced me to do an early upgrade to 35, which I blamed for the problems due to the synchrony.

I've now re-enabled hardware acceleration, and Google Maps now appears to work. I haven't tested whether this is due to another fix, or whether the ulimit is helping here.

Anyway, I really appreciate your help Jakob in saving me from a crumbling browser.

I put mine in development mode and I can't get back to the stable version!

I turned my auto update off, and it still updated.  Not happy about that at all because I don't ever want the Sep 1st update.  I'm still using Java 7.79, and will forever!

Struggling to find a copy of the 44.0.2403.157 installer for all users. Only seem to be able to get the one that installs for current user.

Need this as NHS systems require Java.

Please install firefox instead of using an outdated version of chrome.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to change browsers.
The time to migrate bookmarks and show none IT literate clinical staff the difference is just not possible.

There are plenty of downloads of the single user version of 44, just doesn't seem that the all users version is there.

I've even emailed from the contact page on the chrome site. No response.

[Yuta Kitamura]

Don't use an outdated version of Chromium or any other browser. Outdated browsers are not safe. They are vulnerable to malicious attacks.

[Steve Johnson]

This site maintains old version of Chrome for Windows, Linux and Mac. Unlike other sites, the Windows version is packaged as a full zip archive instead of the small web setup file which always downloads the latest version of Google Chrome.
