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.

I can confirm JxBrowser works great. But did you really manage to embed JCEF in a JavaFX application? To my knowledge it only works for Swing. – Forsta

Last time I checked the comment was "There are no plans to support it currently. External contributions are welcome." magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14639 – Forsta

As noted in my answer "I have not used either of JxBrowser or JCEF". – Illation

Answer 2

No, currently there's no such option. Oracle discussion

However, you can deploy your application in a browser - here is the discussion about this.

No, you cannot embed Chrome browser in webview of JavaFX.

Refer this link: Performance of WebView in JavaFX

You will get an idea about its performance relative to other browsers.
