How to disable MathJax?

[erosennin]

Problem

Recent versions of Sphinx unconditionally include MathJax.js in HTML files, even if sphinx.ext.mathjax is not enabled in conf.py:

<script async="async" type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.1/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>

This can be an issue for projects that do not use maths and do not need a math renderer.

Even with html_math_renderer = None or html_math_renderer = 'imgmath' in conf.py, MathJax.js is still there.

Is there a way to disable loading MathJax.js?

Thanks. :)

Procedure to reproduce the problem

1. Create a new project with sphinx-quickstart.
2. Answer no when asked if you want to enable MathJax.
3. make html
4. grep -i mathjax _build/html/index.html

This is already fixed in #5536.
