but still connects directly for extension updates from Chrome store

Ooops, that wasn't the case...it just uses update.googleapis.com instead of clients2.google.com. All documentation points to the latter... The way query is sent to that URL is different and response is in JSON rather than XML, which I haven't quite figured out yet. I prevented it from connecting to Google, but haven't got it to use local extension respository.

Is it a secret? I certainly can't find anything about it.

CUP protocol...oh well, no auto-updates from local repo then...not auto-updating from Google / MS unconditionally is already much better than how it is by default.

I block in my host file as I recall 360 Chrome tries also to connect.
