The most foolproof method is to deny Chrome the permissions it needs to install the update software and run it. In Terminal: defaults write checkInterval 0 The updater sometimes, on some systems, finds a way to reset itself and update anyway. The "official" Google-given method given to stop the Google Software Update is this, but it doesn't always work. The former supposedly leaves some files, while the latter removes them.Īlternatively, Google Software Update might be installed within /Library/, in which case it can be removed with: sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ksinstall -uninstallĪlso try: sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Helpers/ksinstall -uninstall In the older command above, you may prefer to replace the -uninstall with the -nuke option. Sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/install.py -nuke These were older commands/paths: sudo ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resour‌​ces/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ksinstall -uninstall Please do not ask off topic questions like, why do I not update to El Capitan or why do I not throw away my Xenon quad core hackintosh and buy a new mac or why would I not use Firefox.The new command is now the following: sudo ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Helpers/ksinstall -uninstall To make ist to have original system during boot and have patched version when booted? To make Chrome to look somewhere else for system version? I wonder is there a way to script Google Chrome launch the way it patches the ist, runs Chrome and then quickly patches the plist back to it's original state? I even changed the system version back while Chrome was open and it still worked.Īfter trying to restart Chrome, alas, it failed with a message I tried update again and it worked again. Obviously Google Chrome did not run anymore and was complaining about version 10.9 being required. I had to boot into recovery and change OS version back to 10.7.5. When I restarted the system, it didn't boot.

The yellow warning bar about not receiving the updates showed up and quickly disappeared. I managed to update Google Chrome to the latest version (51) by changing 10.7.5 to 10.9.1 in /System/Library/CoreServices/istĬhrome was required a restart to complete the update and run fine.
