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.

Hello, thanks for the great application, I have an issue which is really uncommon and that is because of my computer setup, since I’m using sound monitors (not normal speakers) for music editing and mixing, I have 2 soundcards on my computer, I’m also using the same device for listening to Spotify (that means I’ve driven the Spotify to use the external soundcard which is not the default soundcard) and your application is looking for Spotify on the default soundcard of windows, so it’s not working as it should be, so is there any way around to make it looks… Read more »

Hi, when I try to use Spotify, it opens, but all I see is a blank, black screen. Somehow I believe it is still “running,” as when I use the media key on my keyboard and click play, the last song I have comes on, but I cannot see anything.

After scouring the Spotify forums, I updated my drivers, and also found from multiple threads that this occurs when Spotify senses EZBlocker?

Spotify screen turns blank- gray with only the 3 dots at the top left. only workaround is uninstalling spotify and getting an older version. 1.0.92.390.g2ce5ec7d works until it auto updates next time you launch it.

EZBlocker is muting certain local files while letting others play. Have heard two ads in less than an hour as well.
