A user notices that the web browser becomes sluggish whenever a particular extension is active. The user still needs that extension occasionally but wants to stop it from running while troubleshooting. Which action should the user take in the browser's extension manager?
Disabling an extension turns it off so it no longer runs code or consumes resources, but the extension stays installed and can be re-enabled later. Removing (uninstalling) the extension deletes it entirely, meaning it must be reinstalled to use again. Clearing the browser cache only removes temporary site data and has no effect on whether an extension executes, and reinstalling the entire browser is an unnecessarily drastic step that does not specifically target the problematic add-on.
