Way how to disable auto-update of Extensions?

[Jiří Pihík]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way how to disable automatic updates of Chrome extensions from web.

I tried method from here:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26653479-Chrome-Iron-how-to-prevent-extension-from-auto-updates

I replaced "update_url" parameter here as noted.

I replaced also "update_url" parameter in Manifest.json of an respective extension. All without success.

Is there a way how to completely turn off automatic updates of extensions?

I do not think so. You can use a proxy server or a PAC script (not sure how) and block https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx. That should cover most of the cases.

Or you can load all of your extensions as unpacked by copying the files from your user data directory (in the Extensions folders) somewhere else, removing the update_url from the manifest, going to chrome://extensions, enabling Developer mode, clicking on Load unpacked extension and selecting the directory (for every extension).

Then just remove the originals.

I believe there is no blanket way of doing that, though.
