Description

Refs:

Would be neat if you could use that new menu to turn this feature on and off, which would work using a cookie.

Research direction

Start with Datasette issue #2283 and inspect how the plugin uses the query_actions hook. Trace how Explain is currently enabled, then determine how the menu and a cookie should control its state. Done means the feature can be toggled on and off through the new menu and the choice persists in the cookie.
