This is a bad design decision in my opinion. The only option available to do that would be to uninstall the extension but that would remove its functionality as well.

There is no option available currently to hide the icon of extensions both in the toolbar and the Chrome menu. While you can right-click on extensions in the Chrome toolbar and select 'hide in Chrome menu', doing so will move the icon to the Chrome menu where it will still be displayed. Unfortunately, Google implemented the hiding functionality in a way that it is impossible to remove extension icons from the browser UI completely. While you may want access to some icons to make use of the extension's functionality whenever the need arises by interacting with it, some extensions may display an icon even though it adds no value whatsoever to the functionality it provides. It makes no sense to display icons of extensions that require no interaction with the icon.

We want our brand to convey the same level of care.You can verify that easily by clicking on the menu icon to display all leftover extension icons. so subtle?” We tailor Chrome’s experience to each OS, with features like Native Window Occlusion on Windows, day-one M1 support on macOS, Widgets on iOS/Android, and Material You on Android. Google’s other big aim with this icon is to support “OS-specific customizations.” Designer Elvin on Twitter explains that Google “want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS.” The company has removed the shadows between the red, yellow, and green in the outer ring, while also “refining the proportions and brightening the colors.” While using “flat colors,” Google did add a “subtle gradient to the main icon to mitigate” how an “unpleasant color vibration” exists between green and red.

Google modernized the logo three years later to further that trend, and is going all the way in 2022. In 2011, the original 2008 logo was greatly flattened and no longer explicitly three-dimensional. This is meant to better “align with Google’s more modern brand expression,” with the company now optimizing the logo for each operating system. The Google Chrome icon is in the process of being updated and modernized for the first time in eight years.
