Sanity check, please:
Google Chrome and Chromium are not auto-updated automatically on Linux; your package manager handles this.
I'm pretty sure my Chrome browser's been updating the same way on my Linux and Windows machines, but I'm not in front of them right now to double-check. This page is obsolete, right?

That statement is technically correct, although perhaps it could be worded better. It is the system package manager (apt, yum, etc.) that handles chrome updates on Linux. The confusion is that the system package manager is usually set to auto-update packages, so chrome auto-updates as well, but there is no separate update tool like on Windows and Mac.
