Google plants unwanted extra icons in LaunchPad, how can I get rid of them?

I updated Google Chrome the other day, which I use as an alternative browser to Safari when a site needs Adobe Flash or something.

Upon installing it, I notice the installer has planted some extra icons into Lauchpad, without asking for permission:

Bottom right: Google search and YouTube. Please note: those icons are not apps (you can’t find them in your app folder) but a kind of redirects which open Googles webpages, in Chrome of course. My default browser setting is neglected. Atrocious back-door sneaky stuff meant to circumvent Mac OSX user settings, search engine preferences (long live Duckgoduck!) and promote more tracking and ad revenue. That‘s what you get for ‘not being evil.’ Boo Google!

The regular method (click and hold, then click the X) to delete these ‘apps’ does not work. Google made sure to flag that X to off. You can only hide Launchpad squatters by shoving them into a folder in the last screen, which is just like shoving a couple of stray dogs into a corner of your cellar in stead of what any sane person would do is: kick their smelly ***** back on the street.

Apple, please give users some control over LaunchPad in stead of malafide app developers.
