Came back here again, sorry to be a squeaky wheel but this is driving me NUTS. It’s been one day using this for me and I can barely take it. It only updated in Edge on my work computer - [instructions on how to disable updates below] I don’t know if I can deal with this. So many clicks. FIX IT. I didn’t let on at first how aggravating this is, but COME ON.

Edge:
Right click, Manage Extension, change “Allow automatic updates” to “Off”

Chrome:

  1. Locate the Extension Folder:
  • Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
  • Enable Developer Mode (toggle in the top-right corner).
  • Locate the extension you want to modify and note its Extension ID.
  1. Find the Extension’s Directory:
  • On your computer, go to the following path:
    • Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions
    • Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions
  • Open the folder matching the Extension ID.
  1. Modify the manifest.json File:
  • Locate the manifest.json file in the extension folder.
  • Open it with a text editor and look for the update_url field.
  • Remove or rename the update_url entry (e.g., change it to update_url_backup).
  1. Restart Chrome:
  • Relaunch Chrome to apply the changes.
