scriptManager is a script for users who use a lot of scripts. It allows you to selectively run scripts on the fly, rather than having every script ran on every page. Even if you don't use some given script, it's still being downloaded by your browser^[1] and/or being ran in it's entirety. This is especially a problem with slower connection speeds and internet plans with limited data.^[2]

When enabled, a new heading, "Enable scripts", will show up on your side bar. Under it will be the list of scripts you've added to scriptManager. From there, simply click on whatever script you want to enable.

^ Technically, it might be cached, but often the script itself is still ran, which has it's toll on page load time just as downloading the script would.
^ Many scripts make AJAX calls behind the scenes.
