Prohibit updates is a bad idea. – A.B. May 15 '15 at 16:47

Using apt-mark:
You can use apt-mark to hold back the package so that it will not be updated automatically:
$ sudo apt-mark hold chromium-browser
chromium-browser set on hold.
$ apt-mark showhold
chromium-browser
To cancel the hold status:
$ sudo apt-mark unhold chromium-browser
Canceled hold on chromium-browser.
From man apt-mark:
hold hold is used to mark a package as held back, which will prevent the package from being automatically installed, upgraded or removed.
Using dpkg :
Actually apt-mark hold is a wrapper around dpkg --set-selections, so you can use dpkg --set-selections directly:
sudo dpkg --set-selections <<<'chromium-browser hold'
