How do I disable the Symfony 2 profiler bar?

Question

It\'s not adding anything and it makes the page slower and I want it gone. Don\'t ask. There\'s little about the profiler on the website and nothing in the app config.

Answer 1

If you set framework.profiler.collect to false in your config.yml, the profiler bar won't be shown (even if web_profiler.toolbar is set to true).

 framework:
    profiler:
        collect: false

This then allows you to selectively activate collectors in your code manually, like this:

$this->container->get('profiler')->enable();
