Different icons for HTML pages when Chrome is the default browser is a great idea! Yes, similar to FF's icon, but use a paper/page image with the Chrome logo in it!
However, I don't think there's any need for different icons for .html and .htm extensions. They're exactly the same filetype. Just the paper/page image with the Chrome logo in it should be fine. Differentiating between Chrome .crx is good too, but I'm pretty sure writing the letters "CRX" at the bottom as opposed to "HTM" will not work. That's because it will only be distinctly viewable (much less readable) only in the extra large or large icon display setting. For users who use small icon or list displays, the words will be much too small to read. You will be able to see the color differences, but if that's the case, you might as well make a graphical/image difference to denote .crx instead of just the the letters "CRX". Also, why would PHP files be marked with the page with Chrome icon? PHP files are never directly opened by Chrome. They may have the icon of my text editor to automatically open for text editing or the PHP runtime icon to open for processing by PHP, but I don't think PHP files have anything to do with Chrome directly. The same goes for scripts for Perl, Python, ASP, Javascript, etc. You didn't mention any of these programs/extensions, but in the same way I don't think these need any Chrome updated icons either.
