Chrome automatically updates your extensions. There have been occasions where an extension developer has lost/sold control of his extension to a malware author. Or maybe you just want to control when updates hit your system.
The Extension Update Disabler extension empowers your to enable/disable automatic updates of
your Chrome extensions.
It's not fancy. It just has a button to disable auto-update of all your extensions, and a button to enable. It does this by editing your extensions to make them unable to find the update site.
It only works when you install a 'helper' application from http://kleinfelter.com/update-disabler/ because extensions don't have access to your file system.
It currently works for Chrome (not Chromium) on Windows and on Mac. If you need it for Chromium or Linux, let me know and I'll work on adding those platforms.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
