How to prevent / stop Chromium Extension to auto update

Im Using Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Raspbian Buster (Debian version: 10)

You can do this by editing chromium profile preferences file:
  1. On Terminal: ${HOME}/.config/chromium/Profile 3/Preferences
cd ~/.config/chromium/Profile\ 3/

in my case, Profile 3 appeared. please check your own folder

  1. then do nano on Preferences file to edit file
nano Preferences

In this file, set the "update_url" property to something invalid like "https://localhost" or 127.0.0.1 for example. For the given url, it makes auto-updating that extension as simply impossible.
