How to prevent users from disable and uninstalling extension ?
To save pc resources I use Tab manager extension to limit opened tabs. Needs to protect this addon disable and uninstalling by unscrupulous users.

Opera doesn't support any policies, so you can't really do what you want in a supported way.
You might be able to modify the extension to redirect away from
opera://extensions(or prevent navigation to). Malware extensions often do that somehow. You could then pack the extension in a crx file.Then, you can place the crx file in a spot that's read accessible by all users and modify all Opera's shortcuts for all users to use the --load-extension command-line option.
The command for all Opera shortcuts would look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe" "--load-extension=C:\OperaExtensions\extension.crx"for example.
However, you'd also have to modify the command in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\OperaStable" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\OperaStable" to use "--load-extension" too (after each time Opera updates) so that if Opera is opened via a file or protocol association, the extension loads too.
Or, instead of modifying an extension extension, make your own extension to redirect away from
opera://extensionsand force-load your extension via --load-extension after the Tab extension is installed for all users.All of that would be a mess to do though, if you can even get it to work.
