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

The last 2 bookmarks/apps in that screenshot were not installed through the Chrome Webstore. They just showed up suddenly - is there a js hack to add these bookmarks by visiting a site/ad?

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

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?
