How to Disable ClientDependency on Umbraco 8

[deepcsystems]

We have an Umbraco 8 website. I believe that the Umbraco backend uses ClientDependency, but we don't want to use it on the front end. Is there any setting we can use to have it only work on the backend?

I understand we can use debug to turn it off. But, we do not want debug="true" in the compilation section of the web.config on our production server.

It looked like there might be a setting to turn it off, but we can't get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It isn't active on the front-end unless you are actively using on the front-end in your views.
