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.

For me it only mutes @automatic startup and if it detects spotify is playing ads by other updated links that havent been blocked.
Just search the exe by pressing WIN + S, and type EZblocker.exe, right klick and go to Data Folder. Delete exe.

Pausing my song on Spotify seems to tell EZBlocker that it should mute the Spotify application, despite the fact that no ad is playing. A half-second after I hit pause, EZBlocker says “Muting” at the bottom of its window. When I hit play again, it takes one to two seconds of playing music for EZB to un-mute Spotify so I can hear what is playing. In addition, sometimes when I pause Spotify for a long period of time (overnight with my computer in Sleep mode) and then start playing again, EZB does not un-mute automatically, and I have to go… Read more »
