Prevent Google Chrome's updater from running
Authored by: fferitt25 on Dec 13, '13 01:24:10PM

So every time I switch computers I usually go through and reset all the crazy custom tweaks I had on the last machine - usch as disabling Google Chrome's auto-update nonsense. I found this HINT via a Web Search.

It blocked the bulk of the HINT w/ some message about a survey or logging into various social media acounts to see the remaider of the HINT. I opted to NOT fill out the bullsh*t form that MAC OS X HINTS tossed at me - closed out the window and proceeded to go directly to MAC OS X HINTS Site and search inside the Site for the Article.

Among various other things falling apart about this Site - your search mechanism is getting very old and broken. Needless to say I obviously found the HINT I was looking for - it remedied my issue w/ my Mac and I never saw the annoyance form that was originally presented to me from the external search.

Is MACWORLD really that hard up to get all sorts of nonsense data about their Users trying to access reference information on a section of their reference Site ?

I really really miss the OLD MAC OS X HINTS before IDG messed it up. Do big companies really have to F up everything they get their hands on ?

FYI - the hint still works. So thanks to the OP for this!
