What is the role of Angular Zones, and when might you disable them?

Junior Angular
Quick Answer NgZone wraps async operations to trigger change detection automatically. Zone.js patches browser APIs to track async activity. Disable zones (zone: "noop" in main.ts) for very performance-sensitive apps - you then manage change detection manually. Run code outside Angular zone with NgZone.runOutsideAngular() for non-UI async work (WebWorkers, setInterval for counters, third-party animations).

Answer

Zones track async tasks and trigger change detection. Disabling them is useful for high-performance apps that manually control UI updates.

Helps in real-time or graphics-heavy applications.
