Turning off automatic updates in Chrome?

[Calliegirl]

Is there a way to do this, or better yet, revert to a previous version? I don't know what they did recently, but all of a sudden it's sucking up all my memory and making my computer crawl.

How do you know that Chrome is doing this?

Do you mean, how do I know Chrome is using up the memory? I ran both task manager and a diagnostic program to see how much memory was being used, and Chrome was using a huge amount. It was also running multiple processes, even after restarting it.
Since it hasn't done this before (and I haven't d/l or installed anything new), I'm assuming the problems are due to an update.

This is what I found with google:
http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/turning-off-auto-updates
As for reverting to an older version, apparently:

Google does not provide downloads for older versions and they always advice against using old version as its a security risk.

or so someone said on the Internets.

Thank you, I will give this a try.
