Troubleshoot How to remove Login Helper from Mac

Infected operating system
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
Infected device issues
My Chrome browser is hijacked. When I try to go to Google the page does not look normal, and the sites that come up in search do (e.g. youTube) do not look normal. I'm getting all kinds of "notifications" (I think you would call them browser pop-ups) trying to sell me stuff, mostly virus-removal software. I found a button (right on the Login Helper Tab, I think) that seemed to enable me to delete it, but I guess it was phony.

Yesterday I went through Google to the New York Times podcast "The Daily." There was a big green button that led me to think I had to install an extension to hear the podcast. Huge mistake! Now I am afflicted with Login Helper. How do I remove this? I don't see anything unusual in my Applications or Extensions. When I tried to reset Chrome policies I got stuck (beach ball forever).
