    if you mean the hyperlinks, then yes, they should be. They link directly to the Google Chrome store, which is owned by Google.

  • Question
    Is there a way I can block a site without installing an app?
    Community Answer
    No, you'll need to get "Parental Control" or a similar app. Alternatively, you can modify your PC's host file (only advisable for advanced users).

  • Question
    What if I want to block a certain malicious program on the site, but not the whole site?

    You would have to get an antivirus program or download the Ghostery Google Chrome plugin in the Chrome Web store, which allows you to check off the tracker that you might think is causing the malicious program to appear. Refresh the site, and it will be gone. (This may require some trial and error.) If you have an anti-virus (McAfee, Avast Online, etc.), then it will automatically block it for you.
