How to prevent chrome devtools from stopping on `debugger` keyword?

Question

Is there a way to prevent chrome from stopping on debugger statements while the devtools window is open, and at the same time allow stopping on manually set breakpoints?

The deactivate breakpoints button (⌘/ctrl + F8) disables both the debugger statements and the user breakpoints so it's not really a solution. It would be good to somehow be able to control separately 'code' breakpoints and 'devtools' breakpoints.

You can use "Never Pause Here" feature. but you need to do it for every line.

How about two scripts to launch your app , where one script can comment out all the debugger statements and then launch the app ?

If it's that important to you right now.

That would be an answer to a different question. But let's assume that you are loading an external library that you cannot modify. – ccpizza Mar 18 '19 at 17:14
well no one puts debugger; in production builds – snikit Mar 18 '19 at 17:29
I only said *let's assume*, didn't say it's a production build. – ccpizza Mar 18 '19 at 17:32
