Cliffe if you remove the permissive line from your te file, SELinux will enforce the policy, however opera will probably crash.

We default to permissive domains when we are building new policy modules, to allow you to record what an application does, and use tools like audit2allow to generate allow rules.  Sort of a learning mode.

I would not have picked a tool like opera to build policy for, since it is very difficult to confine web browsers.  They are too integrated into the system.  You end up basically creating a usr role since the web browser tends to need to do everything the user can do.
