Never Disable Automatic Updates in Chrome

Or any other Chromium browser for that matter...

Source: Why You Should Never Disable Automatic Updates in Chrome

1. Chrome’s Updates Haven’t Been Buggy
   
   ​
   Google has a good track record with security updates for Chrome. Google Chrome was originally released in 2008. Now, more than a decade later, it’s hard to point to even one example of a catastrophic update bug that caused problems.​
   ​
   Chrome’s updates come and go automatically. Google normally updates Chrome with major new versions every six weeks, and smaller updates that fix security holes and other problems arrive more often than that. Chrome is constantly automatically updating itself and keeping you safe. Most people will almost never notice these updates.​
   ​
2. Browser Security Holes Are the Real Concern
   
   ​
   Like all web browsers, Chrome is full of bugs you need to worry about.​
   ​
   Modern browsers are complex, and security holes are regularly found in them. Google and other browser developers regularly release updates to patch holes found by researchers, or to block new zero-day exploits found in the wild.​
   ​
   Without these regular security patches, you’ll end up using a Google Chrome browser that’s vulnerable to attack. A malicious website you open in Chrome could potentially compromise your browser and install malware on your PC—just by opening the website.​
   ​
3. If You Don’t Want Chrome’s Automatic Updates
   
   ​
   Okay, let’s say you really don’t want Chrome’s automatic updates anyway. For whatever reason, you want to manually approve updates, get fewer big updates, or just remove the Google Updater from your computer.​
   ​
   If this describes you, we recommend switching to another browser.​

For whatever reason, you want to manually approve updates

For starters, I do not need nonstop running services/tasks connected to ... somewhere. Not to mention, that in the past, some updates actually caused issues and even when the update is supposed to happen after you restart the browser, once the update is downloaded and installed, it interferences with browser activities, either breaking or crashing them completely. I receive an update email, click on About - Update, when I WANT. So thanks, but no.
