Thanks for the quick reply

The only two things in the past week that I’ve (I hardly download anything from the web) downloaded to my Applications folder are DuckDuckGo and SecureMyEmail softwares. Could the appearance of it be associated to these?

From where did you download them? Software aggregation sites will bundle other software with what you desired. They do that to fund their site which is offering that service for free. Many times that bundled software is some form of malware or adware. Sublime Text is not malware as has already been mentioned.

Sublime Text will not appear on your Mac unless it has been purposely downloaded from its website. It is not bundled with any other software and will not install onto the Dock unless it is dragged and dropped there from the /Applications folder where it installs.

I have been using Sublime Text 4 (license holder) for nearly ten years and it is a syntax-aware programmer's editor, which I have used for Bash, Zsh, Python, Ruby, C/C++, Objective-C, Swift, and even AppleScript development. What I described in the first paragraph is how it came to be installed on my macOS, Linux, and Windows installations.

Have you installed anything else, lately. It possibly came along with something else without you knowing depending on where you downloaded the installer for what you wanted.

Press Command-space and start typing Sublime

Does Sublime Text appear on the search results? Select it and press Command-R to reveal in Finder.

Good that its not malware. I downloaded from Chrome browser in MacBook Pro.

You can’t download anything from Chrome. You can download from a website using Chrome.

What website did you use to get those apps?
