Google workspace apps on the upper right by settings

Ive been using the Avast secure browser for years. Suddenly in the past week or so it required me to create an account. Just did that. I never noticed before this past week that there are a whole bunch of google workspace apps in the upper right next to a setting button. I do use a gmail address primary to this browser and no other. In as much as i want this to remain secure i have concerns as to how that block of apps i never noticed before magically appeared (if they did exist before i never noticed) and want to know how i get rid of them. I looked in extensions and they are not listed there. I dont want google being able to nose around and connect me to my other browsers that i use for other purposes. I also note that that block of apps remains on my page when i switch to bank mode.
