No.

Is it possible to embed chrome browser in JavaFx application?

Yes.

Try JCEF from the chromium embedded project instead of WebView.

For a commercial solution, JxBrowser advertises Chromium support for JavaFX applications.

I have not used either of JxBrowser or JCEF, so I have no further details or advice on how to use them or whether or not they would be fit for your purpose.
