There are quite a few things that can be enabled/disabled using plugins.

Normally Calibre creates a zip file with all files needed for the book when you drop in html file. This is great if there are lots of depencies, such as many smaller linked html files and/or pictures. Usually, however, I prefer html file to be left untouched - as a single *.html file, because my reader reads those directly. There is plugin for that, that you can [en|dis]able when you wish.

Another "problem" I solved this way is automatic recognition of my device when it is plugged in. I do not use Calibre to load books directly, I like to manage books on device myself. I use "save to disk" function in Calibre to export selected books for my reader and I also create epub catalog of all books in that export directory (another great plugin). So I have disabled all device plugins and now Calibre doesn't search, organize, index books when I connect the device while Calibre is running.

Some third party plugins are also noteworthy. Quick preferences, Duplicates, Search internet ...
