Google put apps on my computer and won't let me delete them

On MacOS High Sierra I downloaded google chrome for a second browser and it populated my computer with other google apps that I did not give permission to download and even worse it won't let me delete them from the home menu or finder.

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

Nevermind I figured it out. I went into the applications folder and typed in the search bar “Chrome apps” and I found and deleted the folder.

You either live with it, or you remove remove chrome so the other apps are removed to. Then stick with safari as your only browser. This isn't an Apple or MacOS issue.
