Can you please run npx win-detect-browsers --debug chrome? Prints some extra information about the origin.

My guess would be:

win-detect-browsers/lib/browsers.js

Line 29 in 1670194

this.registry('Google\\Update', 'LastInstallerSuccessLaunchCmdLine')

Yup, guess seems right:

Looks safe to remove, we have plenty of other ways to find Chrome.
