First, get the identifier of the extension, by searching it on Chrome store and extracting it from the URL. For instance, LINE is at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/line/menkifleemblimdogmoihpfopnplikde?hl=en so the identifier is menkifleemblimdogmoihpfopnplikde.

Now in your home directory open the file ~/.local/share/applications/chrome-menkifleemblimdogmoihpfopnplikde-Default.desktop (replace with the correct identifier)

At the Icon= line, replace the value with the path of a 48x48 PNG file of your choice.

The problem with this approach is that for some reason the icon is reset at every reboot, so you have to do it every time, or set some script to do it.
