In the case of namely Chrome, I believe, it is quite probable that it
may be installed as a flatpak or snap package.
Moreover, it is reasonable to use some sandboxing technique for proprietary applications. I have not tried flatpak. I do not like snap due to forced updates at arbitrary time, inability to test some old version, issues with setting up a local mirror (must be registered in Canonical).
I do not like default security model of snap as well, but I have seen some knobs in GNOME settings. I do not remember if there were one for removable storage devices.
