EZBlocker is currently un-supported.
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.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
EZBlocker is working perfectly although on the EZBlocker image it is indicating that “Spotify is not running”
I receive always the following message “Error hooking Spotify. PLease restart EZBlocker after starting Spotify”. Under this is indicated “Spmotify is not running” g itf6bc1b6b is running well and no adds or muting are coming up on my Spotify FRZEE VERSION 1.0.96.181.gf6bc1b6b. No song titles appear in the EZBlocker image.
I work with Windos 10 and Google chrome as my browser. I disabeld ADBlocker and I have the same problem on another computer.
How to make EZBlocker work properly? Many thanks
Great Program, but there is an issue with the “Start EZBlocker on Login” option: Every time I start Windows there is a pop-up which says that EZBlocker couldn’t search for updates or something like that. Is there a fix to that?
Since I want it to start with Windows so I don’t forget it when I start Spotify I don’t want to disable this option.
When I open up EZBlocker, Spotify opens up too, but with a black screen & 3 dots at the top left corner. Any tips on what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!

okay, I’m still having the same problem, but some of the users here are absolute asshats. stop demanding an immediate fix?? Eric doesn’t owe us anything. He did this for FREE and all of us are using it for FREE. even if Eric decided not to maintain ezblocker anymore, we can’t say a single word about it. I’d give Eric a bit more time, it is the holiday season and he really doesn’t have to do it. you can’t expect to not pay for something and yet have it work perfectly all the time, with problems fixed immediately. if you’re… Read more »
