Ask HN: I didn't install these Chrome webstore apps...how'd they get there?

I'm using a CR-48 and I have those too. I think they're just part of the OS. I have never visited those sites so I'm guessing it's auto-added to Chrome?

I think Google bundled them in a recent update, as I had those two as well.
