disable app link when opening new page in safari

I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the app link that appears in Safari when opening a new page on websites that have apps available. This is super annoying to me because if I wanted to open the app, or install the app for that matter I WOULD OPEN OR INSTALL IT MYSELF, lol. I don't need a popup taking up screen space, slowing down how Safari loads and operates. This pops up every time I load a new Google page, or Amazon page - etc, whether I have the app installed or not. I've been all through the settings and searching the web and I cant find any way to turn this "feature" off. Can anyone out there help me please?
