Loading an extension works as expected & as mentioned in the site
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/extensions

You can also try the below code for your reference :-
Also, Attaching the crx file.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new 
File("/usr/local/google/home/gmanikpure/Downloads/extension_1_0_13.crx"));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

 driver.get("https://gmail.com/");
 Thread.sleep(2000); 

Robot rob = new Robot();

 // opens Black query box on the top of the page which confirms extension is loaded properly
 rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_X);
 Thread.sleep(10);
 rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_X);

 Thread.sleep(2000);

 // here, we can see the extension which again confirms the proper loading of it
 driver.get("chrome://extensions/");

Please let us know if this helps you
