How to play MIDI files directly in chrome?

Is there a way to make chrome able to play .mid files directly in the browser? For example, in Wikipdia there are many audio files in the right that are downloaded when clicking on them. The "help" page that is linked near the files is confusing and seems to only give the solution for .ogg files, for which chrome has a built-in support.
Any way to play these .mid files in browser just like .ogg?

To answer it simply, NO because .mid or MIDI file contains the steps and patterns of a musical instrument being played and not the sounds of the instrument when that pattern is being played.
@rsp explains it well on StackOverflow in this Post.

There are a number of chrome extensions and Online MIDI player sites. Doing a Google Search will give you enough.

If you do not want to use a plugin you can try out using a local player for the OS you are using. If you are on Windows you could set up file association for Midi files to, for instance Windows Media Player, and select 'Always Open Files of this type' (or similar worded choice in Chrome) for files like this sample URL (available in Windows 10 I believe);
file:///C:/windows/media/flourish.mid
This way the Windows Media Player will play the Midi file for you.
To associate .mid files to for instance Windows Media Player you can either do this through Settings-Apps-Defaults-by File Type or through Shift-Right click on a .mid file and choose Open With default actions.
