I have installed Opera browser but an older version. Because, the most recent version does not play Netflix and some more platforms videos. This issue is related with libffmpeg.so file and WidevineCDM. However, I solved this issue using an older version of Opera. Now, I want an exception for Opera. I want it to be not updated when I enter the command sudo apt-get update. How can I do that? Thanks.

  • The browser is traditionally a great vector for system compromise. That's why they continually get security updates. As nice as it sounds to just keep an older browser installed, maybe a better solution would be to working on a way to play those files even if it means temporarily using an alternative browser until Opera fixes this? – KGIII Mar 07 '21 at 18:01

There are many ways to do that, one of the easiest way is you can mark hold on those packages.
e.g:

apt-mark hold vim
