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.

It’s been this way for a while, you’ll have to use an older version of Spotify to get EZBlocker to completely remove the entire banner space like it used to. I use Spotify version 1.0.20.94 (14 Dec 2015), but you’re going to have to set it up so it doesn’t update. You can try some later versions to see if the space is removed in those, but I know that version it does for sure. And just a heads up, once you set up your Spotify files to prevent it from updating, you won’t want to use Spotify connect from… Read more »

Good work on the app, Eric. I took processors with you at Tech. Cool to find your stuff on the web.

Hi,
I’ve just discovered your tool, I try it, and it works for me (France).

An idea : May be it has already been discussed, but my idea is to add a playlist of local mp3 files to EzBlocker and to start a player on that playlist when Spotify is muted. By that way, we will have no sound interruption (sometimes Spotify casts many publicities).
