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 love this at work, but at home it simply isn’t blocking any ads. It isn’t muting them. In both cases I am using Win10 and the Spotify desktop app.
So far so good! Thanks. 🙂
what folder do i put it in?
Spotify has been given me only ONE ad over and over for the past few days. It’s an annoying AF pop song. I just know they do this shit to annoy you into buying premium, as opposed to only gaining ad revenue.

EZBlocker is not playing after certain spotify ads. It just stops on ad and doesn’t play anything. Please fix.
Prevents computer from shutting down (gives a confirmation popup asking if you want to exit EZBlocker)
That’s, not a big deal. Microsoft word will do that. So will your web browser if you have a few tabs open.
“Not a big deal” but so annoying. Word do this because of unsaved document. But why do this spotify ad blocker?
Okay, I’ve pinpointed the problem to ezblock itself even without ‘Block all ads’ selected. If I leave it open even to listen to spotify for say, 30 or so minutes and then close it I still get really high CPU usage. Normally my CPU is at 2-6% when at rest. However, after ezblock is open for a while it spikes up to 30-40% at rest. The process causing this is the Nvidia container and the Nvidia Web Helper Service, both taking up 9-11% of my CPU at once. When I try to run anything GPU intensive it will spike the… Read more »
I’m having issues with EZBlocker blocking my friend’s activity feed. It either says there’s a problem with the activity connection on startup or displays the last known activity before EZblocker when updates cease.
