Is it possible to extract exif info client side (in browser, via javascript) and then upload photo standard way and exif metadata via side channel?

No, the Chrome app doesn't do the stripping.

It uses native APIs to request the media file from the OS and since the app doesn't request the permission to receive location data along with it, the OS provides the files without the location
