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 there, thanks for your continued work with this. One issue I’ve been experiencing for a while is that the last 1 second or so of the ad is not blocked…So from silence the ad just pops up for a second and then it’s finished. Any way to fix this? Thank you.

I believe it has to do with the buffering.
EZBlocker un-mutes audio when it detects the end of the ad stream, but at that point there is still a few kB of buffered ad data that will be decoded and played.

Are there any plans to support the official Ubuntu Spotify Client?

It’s probably never going to happen which is kinda the nature of linux these days

Just call it Linux in general. If we can get them to support more than just Ubuntu life will be great. Usually, though it supports most of them anyways with minor complications. And debian is gr8. Ubuntu is an eh thing

Hey! I’ve been using EZBlocker with no problems for a while but now it’s stuck on loading and keeps crashing if I try to exit it. The log.txt says that “The remote name could not be resolved: ‘56599518.spotilocal.com” The number changes in some line… Please help!
