How to downgrade Google Chrome to previous version?

[lafrente]

I just restarted my PC and Chrome broke with an update. Tab icons are misplaced.

 

I refuse to use 2023 "updated" look of Chrome. So I'll keep my flags as they are.

 

I want to revert back to the previous version (Before 18 April I think, to the before this last one) and I want to keep updates completely disabled.

 

How do I do this?

This isn't advisable. Using outdated software, especially one as exposed as a internet browser, is a terrible idea from a security perspective. I would highly recommend simply moving to another (property updated) browser rather than open yourself up to security risk purely for aesthetic preferences

 

If you must, here's a link with old versions. https://google-chrome.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions

2023 refresh is horrendous. Even if its a risk I won't use that crap. They are supposedly fixing this issue in the next update but that's in couple weeks so I'll use downgraded ver till then. If they ever remove the choice to disable 2023 refresh then I say bye to this clown of a browser.

 

Uninstalled without deleting user data, and reinstalled April 12 version, disabled bunch of 2023 refresh features in flags, and its back to normal.
