ExceptionBreaker is a VS extension that provides a way to fast-toggle breaking on all CLR exceptions.
It is available through both Debug toolbar and Debug top level menu.

The extension can be installed from Visual Studio Gallery.
Supported VS versions: 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015.

2. Deselected button is not equal to "Do not break on all CLR exceptions".
   Some exceptions might be selected (manually through Debug -> Exceptions) — just not all of them.

By popular demand, version 1.1 introduces support for excluding certain exceptions from being changed:
