With Silverlight disappearing from Chrome 45, what are my alternatives?

Since Chrome 45 will drop NPAPI support in september and with it Silverlight, what would be my alternatives beside using another browser ? I would really need to still support Chrome with my application and can't force the user to not update their main browser.

Could I use a chrome extension ?

Could I make them install an out of date Chrome alongside an updated one ?

What else ?

Well it seems there is a solution ! I have tried IETab with Chrome Canary (v45) and the dev channel (v46) and even with Silverlight support dropped from those version, the extension allows my application to work flawlessly !

I have reached the support of IETab and they have confirmed Silverlight will continue to work with their plugin when Chrome officialy release version 45.

Try it out : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd?hl=en

EDIT : As of today, September 3 2015, Chrome 45 is out and IETab still works.
