How to disable Google Chrome auto update for MAC OS? [closed]

Question

Does anyone know how to disable Google Chrome auto-update for MAC OS?

I tried:

1. Renaming the GoogleSoftwareUpdate folder
2. Change Google Chrome auto-update URL
3. Command defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0 in terminal

It doesn't work for me.

Method that helped me:

1. To empty these directories:

/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/
~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/

2. Then change the permissions on these folders named 'GoogleSoftwareUpdate' so that there's no owner and no read/write/execute permissions.

In terminal:

cd /Library/Google/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate
cd ~/Library/Google/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup GoogleSoftwareUpdate
sudo chmod 000 GoogleSoftwareUpdate

3. Then do the same for the folder Google one level up.

cd /Library/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup Google
sudo chmod 000 Google
cd ~/Library/
sudo chown nobody:nogroup Google
sudo chmod 000 Google

I did this after installing the Chrome version I need. Now when I'll check 'About Google Chrome' I'll see the error "Update failed (error: 10)"
