Chrome seems to like to do something so that you donโt see the code when you click the Stop button before the page finishes loading. It will say something like window.script123456738391=1; . This makes it impossible for you to set a breakpoint in the right place inside the code, especially if there is a redirect on the page before you can pause it.
What I found can be done is set a breakpoint on the first line. The next time you load the page, it will break on the first line, no matter what it is. Then you can see all the code that the page will load and set breakpoints wherever you want :)
