Grey out Google Chromes extensions to prevent them being disabled/uninstalled

[arsenalbates]

I have installed an extension that blocks some websites that i choose.

This is great however the end user can just access the chrome extensions and uninstall/disable it therefore making it useless.

I did once have some sort of code that greyed out the enable/disable button and the uninstall link but i cant seem to find it.

Anyone know how I can go about fixing this?

While I can offer no help, you have brought up a good point. I would be interested in hearing your resolution, should you find one.

im pretty sure i done it once before but have forgotten how. So annoying !

I'm not sure about the original question, but why not just set up a proper (network level) web filter? It should be possible within the router firmware if we're talking a small network. Something done within the browser is always going to be incredibly easy to get around.

Yeah just uninstall the browser. Besides you might get a bit of unfriendly feed back if it can't be uninstalled. If it's parental control you're looking for having that built in to windows and most routers would be an alternate.

How would i go about this then ?
