How do you stop Brave from updating?

Well should they no longer be supported I plan on running 2 versions - a ‘legacy’ one and a current one

Is it even even possible to have 2 separate installs on the same system ?

As for security concerns in all my years browsing I have never received malware when NoScript/uBlock where enabled (but I have been infected despite running the latest versions of various browsers IE/FFox/Chrome) so in my experience they are better than any Antivirus program at preventing malware

Also the sites I plan to use the ‘legacy’ version on are mostly mainstream/commercial and presumably low risk anyway

Yes but how much notice will we get given that the changes will be made upstream to Chromium ? That’s why I want to prepare in advance

In this thread you give instructions on how to prevent updates for Mac

So how would you do this for 1 install on Windows ?

Do I need to rename folders e.g. >Program Files > BraveSoftware > - make a copy and rename it e.g BraveSoftware2

But then what alterations do I need to make in the registry ? to ensure one version continues to receive updates and the other doesn’t ?

Thanks
