To avoid auto update google chrome version, the simple steps to do are

1. Edit the launcher at Ubuntu

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

And edit every Exec with --simulate-outdated-no-au='Tue, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 GMT' --check-for-update-interval=31536000

For example

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --simulate-outdated-no-au='Tue, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 GMT' --check-for-update-interval=31536000

2. Disable update on APT and comment it

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Done!
