Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-3
Followup-For: Bug #841401
Attached is a patch that adds a command line switch --disable-extension-update
that disables the update of extensions, which is also added to default-flags.
This way the default is to not update extensions, but this can be overriden by
the user by changing the default-flags file.
