Hi Sai,

Unfortunately indeed modern browsers often prevent the use of COM / ActiveX access for security reasons.

Older browsers like IE supported this, and it is still possible to use this in Edge when using the IE tab. 
The new version of Edge is based on the Chromium platform, so in that sense very similar to Chrome with the extension that an IE tab can be used to make these things still possible.

As modern browsers are 'sandboxing' the environments, which means they are disabling the ability to control other applications from the browser, solutions for integration may need to shift. With these security enhancements you can question if the browsers and their javascript are the best way for desktop  integration.

Depending your requirements and ability of tools other ways of integrating can be found. This might require some changes to your projects though.
