Alternatively, if you don't see the thing you're looking for in your apps menu, it might not be an app but instead a Chrome extension.
You can disable a Chrome extension by clicking the three stacked dots in the upper-right corner of a Chrome window and selecting "More tools" and then "Extensions." Then turn off whichever extension you don't want anymore.
