So I have a MacBook 2017, And basically I use this computer for school stuff, so today my teacher told to go to chrome. To launch this website but after using it for like 5 mins, the keyboard was extremely hot and the computer was becoming more and more hot, is that okay?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Welcome!
It is widely known that Chrome is a demanding resource hog on both Mac and Windows computers.
However, at your end, check that your computer is getting enough air. All MacBook Pros exhaust heated air from the hinge area in the back. That area must be clear of any interference. Many newer MacBook Pros take in cool air through vents on each side near the back service panel.
Yours may vary.
Keyboard covers can raise temps on models without the side vents.
Also, you cannot rely on those vents working properly unless the computer is on a hard, flat surface. Using it in your lap or on a blanket of pillow will block some of the vents. Apple avoids calling these "laptops" for a reason!
There is an Apple support article:

Useless anti-virus and so-called "cleaning" software WILL increase workload and temperatures. If your have installed any such things , you have suffered a self-inflicted wound!

That is not okay. Did you checked if the same issue happens on Safari?
Macbook overheating?
