We have a lot of activities in this game. You have raiding, Mythic+, leveling, professions, auction house pvp, pvp, and achievement hunting. With all these activities, there are a large assortment of addons.
I’d like to suggest an addon profile manager where we can create profiles to use specific addons. Example would be raiding and creating a profile that will only use addons I specified for raiding. I don’t need arena or rare finder addons while working through a progression raid boss. I feel it would be useful to allow people to still have all the addons in the world but make it easier to enable/disable addons that aren’t needed for what ever situation a player finds themselves in.
The functionality does kind of exist with in the addon lists with ALL or character specific. I would like to see it expanded to include customizable profiles to use only specific addons for an active profile.

Now if you mean baseline, that would be nice, but as addons are a third party thing, I very much doubt Blizzard is going to go that in depth into it.
Those addons. Really nothing else and even the dev (sylvanaar) for addon control panel died 2 years ago. Someone has forked their code.
But tbh really shouldn’t need too many profiles because if your computer has performance issues from addons. Then you need to upgrade your hardware or cutback addons/find more efficient alternatives.
Right now I have two profiles with acp:
- pve addons with collection/transmog/att/tsm
- pvp only related addons
Only times had to turn things off (and I mean everything) was because chaotic essence affix with any nameplates (yes even stock) bricks cpu.
Ok and that has what to do with my post?
Both do what the poster was asking about, and addon control panel is still maintained and useable even if not by the original author.
I only use one addon profile per character, however there are many good examples of situations why people would want profiles to be able to switch addons around, it is why they exist.
Just because you or I may only want or use a couple profiles, doesn’t mean others would want, and should be able to have, otherwise.
