What he said was that Dart will compile into JS.

Natively run Dart will (otherwise, what's the point) than the JS it can be compiled into. What I forsee is some kind of conditional that will allow Chrome to run the Dart code, and other browser get served the compiled-into-JS.

Demanding an extension installation is a no-go.

It wont. No legitimate developer would replace JS with it if that requirement existed.
