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.

Sorry software doesn’t work. More internet rotted link garbage. Welcome to web 2.0. Land of rotted links! The new spotify browser doesn’t work but the open.spotify does but you have to keep refreshing it if you want to stop ads.

While I’m not against ads the way Spotify does it is immoral and shows they think the consumer is not important. I don’t mind a few banner ads at the start when you go to the homepage and maybe when you search for a song but NOT while the song is playing. NO! Same with TV. I wouldn’t mind it if a tiny commercial played with the option of having it muted while searching for a TV show but I don’t like it while it’s running the show. Why don’t TV shows do that have the commercials be when you… Read more »

Hi there, I’m using it successfully, with audio from ads muted, except for the last second at the end of the ad. Could this be improved? Thanks!

Dropped internet connection when disable all ads is ticked. I will try it again but Spotify may be detecting the block.

Lucas, to fix that, just drag the .exe from the Downloads folder to your desktop or wherever you keep your shortcuts for programs. Then you can start it up any time you need to.
