EZBlocker is a simple-to-use ad blocker/muter for Spotify. EZBlocker will attempt to block ads on Spotify from loading. If an ad does load, EZBlocker will mute Spotify until the ad is over.
There are no fancy features, just pure ad blocking. When an ad is blocked, only Spotify is muted, so no other sounds will be affected. EZBlocker aims to be the most stable and reliable ad blocker for Spotify.
There's no setup required - just drag it into any folder and run. To upgrade your EZBlocker, simply replace the executable file.

FAQ
Why is my Spotify is permanently muted?
There may be issues with EZBlocker muting Spotify on your computer. You can manually modify your Spotify's volume by opening the Volume Mixer.
How do I block banner ads?
Check the "Block Banner Ads" box to enable banner blocking. Enabling and disabling this feature requires you to run EZBlocker with administrator privileges.
Does EZBlocker block video commercials?
EZBlocker will mute videos but not prevent them from playing. If you don't want video ads, make sure you keep your Spotify minimized.
Why does my anti-virus say EZBlocker is a virus?
The latest version of EZBlocker may be picked up by a few anti virus programs. This is most likely due to the way EZBlocker disables Spotify's ads. If you do not feel comfortable downloading the executables directly, feel free to view the source code and compile it yourself.
How do I donate?
I don't accept donations for EZBlocker. I would rather you spend your money on Spotify Premium. If Spotify Premium isn't offered in your region, I suggest donating to a non-profit such as the Tor Project.
Is EZBlocker open source?
Yes it is, and I encourage all to contribute. The source & technical description is available on Github.

Hey mate, it’s still missing muting ads, but it certainly better than the last version. Now it will go between 0-10 seconds of ads before it kicks in.
Secondly, I am getting log files that are MB’s worth because every couple of seconds it’s adding a new line in the text document reading:
“WebHelperHook: The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine”
same here
Ads are not blocked in my personal computer. I use it at work and it works fine (there is a little delay and I usually can listen the beggining of the ads but it is very usefull (I hate the ads od softonic, mainly because of the high volumen of them)
Hey Eric – I’ve been using your tool for I think about three years now and have been happy with it ever since, keep up the great work and thank you for making this available.
As a note of feedback: there used to be a “Add to blocklist” button which I’m occasionally missing, I guess now and then one slips through your fully automated adblocking which was introduced in V1.5.
Thanks you for this useful software , publicity are so annoying they use them too much often , every 2 or 3 music for 2 publicity of 1m both thats really annoying
Very nice/usefull app, I think it will be very nice if user could set alternetive mp3 path which will be played during mute ad time, what you think about?
Hi Eric
I have issues with EZblocker and AVG antivirus. When i disable the antivirus EZblocker works fine, but when AVG is on it keeps displaying “loading…” and does not mute the ads. I’ve tried adding exemptions for EZblocker and Spotify but it did not help. So any advice/fix would be much appreciated. Thanks for your work regardless.
It’s the built in linkscanner! disabling it works. Would be nice to not have to do that though.
it just mute the add, not block
Hello , Eric, I updated to last version after getting auto exit , but now its does not mute all ads , also this used to skips all ads , if you are unable to skips the ads can you do something about video / pop up ads? even if they are muted they do eat my internet data ;/
