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.

Hi, very good work. It worked like some other people already say for several months now. But since a few days the music stops playing after an ad and I have to restart spotify always. (play button doesnt change anything – it just gets stuck). Maybe you can update EZ Blocker. If you need help coding, just send me an mail.
User “Cam” described the same problem 3 posts below.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! 🙂

It only blocks the add for the first song of the álbum/playlist. When the second song comes in, EZblocker crashes, and the add appears. After this, everytime i try to re-open EZBlocker, it instantly crashes again. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey, the program used to work amazingly for a few months, now it only mutes the ads, instead of disabling them 🙁

Haven’t used it in some time, but installed spotify last weekend and ran ezblocker and ezblocker seems to cause spotify to have a problem: ezblocker causes spotify to get stuck when you start a new queue/playlist/radio and it wants to play ads, but the ad doesn’t play and the spotify “Play” button in the browse window doesn’t change to “Pause”

Hey! Your program worked wonderfully for a few months (it hid all banner ads and completely disabled all audio ads). Just today it stopped working (ads began playing, banner ads bagan showing), so I reinstalled it but now the “Disable All Ads” function doesn’t seem to work anymore, it just mutes them, which is still better than nothing I suppose. Also, my Spotify app seems to be bugging out slightly. When the next song comes on, the previous song’s album cover and name will remain on the display. This can be fixed by restarting Spotify. Any idea what’s going on?… Read more »
