Desktop Chrome and FF do not support HLS. I know there is a plugin available to add HLS support to flash. Is there such plugin or technique available to enhance HTML5 on browsers which dont have HLS support yet?

HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) on Chrome for Android is fully supported on 97-103, partially supported on None of the versions, and not supported on below 97 Chrome for Android versions.
However, HTML5 video players don't support RTMP or HDS. You need to use HLS with an HTML5 video player.
Play HLS urls in-browser Extension with an hls.js library from: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js Play the m3u8 links you click on and any m3u8 links you paste into the address bar. It works by transmuxing MPEG-2 Transport Stream and AAC/MP3 streams into ISO BMFF (MP4) fragments.
Not only it is possible, but it's been done numerous times. There are several open and closed source solutions available. A quick github search gave me this one.

EDIT: New/better option just released http://engineering.dailymotion.com/introducing-hls-js/
