Yes you can

At least in FireFox (25+) and Chrome (30+).

In FireFox this feature is called "Black boxing" and will be available with FireFox 25. It let's do exactly what you where looking for:

This feature was also introduced to Chrome (v30+) although it's tougher to find/configure. It's called "skip through sources with particular names" and Collin Miller did an excellent job in describing how to configure it:

I'm using it in Chrome right now. It works like a charm and saves me so much time.
