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.

I suggest everyone to downgrade Spotify to, say, v.1.0.25 or lower and google for a way to DISABLE program updates (it exists). Latest versions from 1.0.28 and newer come with an indecent volume in ads and unfortunately EZblocker (for which I hereby thank the author for developing) mutes them only a second later circa. I’ve jumped from my chair so many times these last days I had to find a way to end this once and for all, hence my suggestion to users.

I haven’t had ads for over a year and I’m not premium. I’ve just never had ads and Spotify does update. Any clue what’s up in my situation?

Me too, but then Spotify started freezing whenever I click on anything of the program. I uninstalled Spotify and redownloaded so it’s a clean install, now it doesn’t do what it does before.

Add support for multiple users and fix the new version (it closes automatically and it can’t hook the Spotify .dll).

i had to revert back to the old version because every time i launch it, it automatically closes and i have to launch it again.

Blocks some banner ads, sometimes leaves a grey-ish box where it would be and then others it blocks them normally. Audio ads are blocked almost all the time, except there are normally a couple of seconds of audio before it is properly blocked. Video ads aren’t blocking at all for me. Apart from that great work up until now, keep it up!
