That won't work. Chrome will use Flash through the Pepper plugin API, a new API that is only in Chrome (not Gecko, not WebKit, and nowhere else).

Is there no way to implement a wrapper, a la nspluginwrapper?

No. Pepper exposes a huge set of functionalities - rendering, networking, audio - that would likely be used by something like Flash, and would require a lot of new code, since none of that is in the old NPAPI.
