Google Chrome is not available from Debian. You probably installed a
Chrome package that automatically added Google repositories so that
Chrome can be updated using apt.

There is no google-chrome-stable package in Debian. Google Chrome is
considered (at least) unfree by Debian and that's why Debian will not
distribute it. (I am not even sure whether anybody except Google is
allowed to distribute Chrome.)

You probably have a file like google-chrome.list in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/. Edit it to your liking.

Only Google.
