  • PPAPI can't make arbitrary calls to native code, so it won't be useful for you.
  • NPAPI would work, but since NPAPI is deprecated in Chrome and slated for removal, it would be a bad idea to port to NPAPI for Chrome at this point.
  • No, you can't just use ActiveX in Chrome.

It's likely that Native Messaging in a Chrome extension is the best way to do what you are describing. There are a number of similar questions here already about getting OS information in Chrome that have more detailed answers.
