Description
React Native Debugger app version: 0.14.0
React Native version: 0.71.8 / Expo 48
Platform: iOS, but unrelated
Is real device of platform: yes
Operating System: Windows
So I updated the 0.14.0 and either the "pause on exception" has disappeared and it's activated by default (Or maybe it was never there, but deactivated by default, but #376 makes me think differently) :

So at the start of the app, I get short of 10 pauses due to exceptions unrelated to my code (but third party libs).
I ignored as much scripts as I could, and it boiled down to a couple now that breaks execution.
Of course, I can manually resume it every time, but that's a lot of manual screen switching.

Research direction
The report names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the missing or always-enabled “pause on exception” behavior in react-native-debugger 0.14.0 with React Native 0.71.8 or Expo 48, then trace the debugger settings and exception handling; done means the setting is available and unwanted third-party exceptions no longer interrupt execution.
