Manual Updates for Google Earth and Google Chrome

Hello,

I recently asked about how to manually check for and update Google Earth
and Google Chrome, to which I received a prompt answer.

The information that I received was for PCs, however, as I forget to
mention in my original post that I needed this information for a MacBook
Pro.

I thus need to ask again how I can manually update Google Earth and
Google Chrome on MacBook Pro. I notice that they automatically update
themselves, though I wish to manually check for updates and act on it
myself.

Thanks once again for your time.

 

This information is out of date, but still interesting.
It says when you download Google Earth, you're actually
downloading a program called Google Update.

Instead, there are (were) stand-alone tool installers,
like a .dmg with just the Google Earth in it. If instead,
you naively went to Google and clicked a download button,
you'd get Google Update control tool instead.

So this would get you just Google Earth. A question would
be, how easy it would be to get rid of all the effects
of the updater (i.e. is any removal process, complete).

I can open that with 7ZIP, and at least in the folder
structure, the word "Updater" doesn't pop out at me. Maybe
that'll work for you.

Chrome has a button on the top right corner that pulls down a dialog box
that has lots of selections, one of them is UPDATE GOOGLE CHROME, which when
you select it launches the updater.

I do not understand questions like this because if the question is restated
as, "Why do I have a headache?" the obvious answer is, "Because there is a
hammer hitting you in the forehead."
