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.

If you’re having trouble with the latest release try downloading 1.6.8. That one seems to work well for me.

When running EZBlock, the Spotify window is completely blank other than the menu bar. No matter what options were chosen from the menus, the program remained blank. Attempting to run Spotify without EZBlock after that had no effect. I was forced to reinstall Spotify to regain any functionality.

This program was completely unusable.

Go to settings (the three dots at the top right), go to view, and uncheck Hardware Acceleration. If that doesn’t work, then try reinstalling.

Hey, XD (um, the acronym for your handle looks like a smiley 😉 What’s with the Google Analytics embedded in the code (I turned it off in my local build)…? I didn’t see any refs to that in the FAQ. While I appreciate your work and I am taking advantage of it, I like to know when my sh*t is being monitored by outside forces. Not really grousing since I turned it off, just think you should mention it in the FAQ for others’ benefit. Keep up the good work and hope stuff’s going OK for you at Pinterest (if… Read more »
