Chrome breaks randomly without breakpoints with the inspector open

Question

When I have the inspector open in chrome it will "break" all over the javascript even if there are no breakpoints. On sites that I need the debugger to debug javascript this makes chrome pretty unusable.

I'm on a mac, and I have tried deleting and reinstalling chrome. Anyone have any suggestions?

Gracias everyone!

You could have had the "Pause on all exceptions" button enabled (it would be blue if enabled).

On Chrome 33.* you'll see it when viewing a script:

Answer 2

I eventually resolved this by uninstalling chrome, removing this directory: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/ (I'm on a mac) and reinstalling. Not sure whether the deleting chrome step is really necessary.
