MinGW the MSYS/MinGW software will BUILD most linux code INTO a windows .exe and windows .dll ( using "dlltool" to convert the nix .so,a,la, files)

or

CygWin
it will run about 70% - or so - of linux programs on windows

The program you are indicating is a browser plugin for chrome/firefox.
It is, AFAIK, not possible to use a linux browser plugin in a win browser.
Are you sure they are only providing a linux plugin?

You can go the route of using Oracle VirtualBox.
