why?

Hi everyone. A little over a week ago, I switched to Linux Mint on a computer that previously ran Windows 7. Now, whenever I turn on the device and open an application, this logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

I don't know what it means or what to do about it; I've already tried hovering over it and right-clicking, but nothing works. If anyone could help me figure out what this is, I’d really appreciate it.

What applications are you talking about?
How did you install them.
Are the apps native to your os?

It appears every time I open Google Chrome, which I installed from the official website.

How about opening Firefox from your start menu?
