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.

EZBlocker Version: 1.8.1.0
Spotify Version: 1.2.16.947

It is also saying “Spotify not found.”
Which is weird because the option to open Spotify with EZblocker still works yet it can no longer identify Spotify.

So, I “upgraded” (i.e. forced) my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I’m noticing a huge delay with muting and unmuting. An ad starts playing and it could be a good 11 seconds before EZBlocker kicks in and mutes it. Same thing when the music comes back, the song plays for about 11 seconds before it unmutes. Obviously this can be jarring. If I pause the song after an ad and wait 10 seconds, it doesn’t help. I have to leave the song playing or it doesn’t unmute at all. I noticed some small delays with Win10, but nothing… Read more »

I just watched it and yeah, it doesn’t unmute immediately when the title info changes. The status will actually say “Muting: Song Title”
It waits 10-11 seconds before it unmutes.
