Icon uses chromium icon in taskbar when you install via .deb file

I cannot see the issue.
I saw a similar issue, if I take clean Ubuntu 16 and install with sudo dpkg -i brave-amd64.deb, it says libappindicator1 is required.
If I just run Brave, the icon is not displayed, neither chrome's nor brave's. It is required to install deps with sudo apt-get -f install. The original chrome.deb has the same behavior.

Here is a deb I have used https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eXD-8x0-Vc314cswU-qe8NOo18AKT5te/view?usp=sharing .

@AlexeyBarabash is the issue similar to https://github.com/brave/brave/issues/54 ?

@srirambv
This is how it looks until I run sudo apt-get -f install

Its quite different. But on Windows i see the error icon on taskbar (sometimes) but right click on it brings back brave icon. But window peek always shows the error icon mention in the other issue

Runs good on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon.

Does it share the same icon if you also install Chromium?

[AlexeyBarabash]

If I install Chromium (not Google Chrome), I can see the issue:

So for example on windows installer I had to modify registry entries to point to our own unique UUIDs to fix a similar problem.

Thanks. Something similar must be on Linux.

This should be fixed by brave/brave-core#45.
The issue appeared on all Linux versions which are using Gnome environment.
