If you can have your users install a chrome extension, you can use the native messaging APIs: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging .

One of the nice things about Java is it didn't force a specific web browser on the user.

If you presented something to me that required Chrome, I would leave. I don't use Chrome and I do not wish to.
