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.

It’s not been working for over a month or two, mate

I recently noticed that there’s one specific ad that keeps avoiding the EZBlocker filter and plays every single time. It’s one of own’s Spotify ads and starts with something about “Be more demanding…”

Any thoughts? Has anyone experienced that too?

Perhaps that particular ad doesn’t trigger the same API event that EZblocker uses to detect an ad?

Due to the latest spottify-update the EZBlocker does not block the adds anylonger.
Before that it worked just fine. They must have done something to their signal 🙁

Can you update as well?

First of all, thank you for creating this amazing tool. This has worked great for just about a year. It seems the fun has come to an end because as of version 1.0.16.104 it has stopped working.

🙁

it was working till today on windows 10, now it gives me this framework error:

“The type initializer for ‘EZBlocker.Properties.Settings’ threw an exception”

what could this be?

Can’t seem to get this to work as flawlessly as everyone is saying… Says Connection Error at the bottom, blocks banners fine but won’t do anything about ads playing.
