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.

Been using this program for almost two years and it has never failed me. However, just wanted to give a heads-up: after the most recent update, Windows Defender flags the file Win32/Zpevdo.A (which is part of EZBlocker) as a trojan. This is a false positive and it’s nothing to worry about, but you will have to specifically mark the program as an Allowed Threat in Defender to download and install EZBlocker. Hope this note spares someone the same heart attack I had when a completely reliable program set off Win 10’s sirens!

Agree with others people. Doesn’t work since last spotify update.
The radio and friends were not working anymore. Changed the host to make it work and now it only block the ads at the start but fail after some time.

Windows 10’s Virus & Threat protection is killing this when I download it. It’s a false positive, I suspect? Not going to risk it until there’s some clarification here.
