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.

Does anyone have tip how to stop the automatic updating? Because downgrading to one version older v1.0.80.474 does fix the problem. Because if we can stop the automatic update, we’ll have fun functionality back.
https://www.filehorse.com/download-spotify/35027/ Where I got my older version. If anyone is interested.
on Spotify, it doesn’t block or even mute the ads. and yes its run as admin.
Used this for over a year and now it doesn’t work. I’m guessing its from the recent update. Please update it. 🙁
doesnt work anymore it breaks the radio and friend feeds.
redownloaded v1.0.80.474 that fixed it too, not sure about if this will not automatically update again. Working for now
About the radios not working. You can still acces them through the website. And it will still play in app. Making it a work around.
Hi everybody !
how to uninstall EZ Blocker, thnx
Hola a todos
Alguien sabe como desinstalar EZ Blocker
Gracias
i’m looking for the answer too
Everytime i activate the “disable ads(experimental)”, Spotify goes to kinda offline mode. I can still search songs but I cannot play daily mixes,radios,see my friend list and etc because it says “offline mode”
I try to uncheck the “disable ads(experimental)” and it went back to normal but with ads. Can you fix this? It’s ok if it will take time. thanks
Yeah I’ve noticed the same, one work around is going by spotify.com to open your radio. Still works there. And will play in app.
I have just noticed this problem too. Spotify version 1.0.83.318.g6c07039d, EZBlocker v1.6.8.6.
Daily Mixes don’t show up in the Your Library section, the Radio page shows “Error Failed to load.”
Music still plays, no banner ads show, and so far no audio ads have played.
I’m having a similar issue. Whenever I launch spotify, it goes into this semi-offline mode you described. Except for me, this happens regardless of whether or not I’m using EZBlocker. I’m able to circumvent the issue by deleting C:\Users\”USER”\AppData\Local\Spotify prior to launching the spotify windows app. Appears that mobile users are facing similar problems.
Eric, you might want to look into this. Only way to beat the fatcats is to stay one step ahead of em.
Try to remove the code ” 0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com ” from your hosts file. Seems to work again for me.
