How to Block Spotify Ads in its Web Player
You can easily block the ads during music playback on Spotify Web Player using a VPN, an ad blocker extension, or modifying certain files on your computer. All the methods are detailed below.
Method 1- Use a VPN to Reduce Spotify Ads
Using a virtual private network (VPN) helps you block ads while listening to Spotify music. This approach is typically applicable to all PCs and mobile devices. Simply select a different region server on the VPN and launch Spotify to listen to music, and there will be fewer audio advertisements. You can use ProtonVPN, as it’s free and does the work perfectly.
However, remember that this strategy will not eliminate all Spotify advertisements. If you wish to remove all the ads, move on to the next workaround.
Method 2- Use an Ad Blocker for Spotify on Windows 7/8/10
To remove the ads on the platform, install a dedicated ad blocker from a reliable source, like EZBlocker. It will block Spotify ads before they start playing, either on the browser or the Spotify app.
It will also automatically silence any annoying ads that get past the ad block. You must ensure that your computer is running Windows 8, 10, or 7 with .NET Framework 4.5+ to install it, as shown below.
Step 1: Open a browser and visit the EZBlocker download page.

Step 5: Start playing your favorite songs, and the tool will remove ads from Spotify in the background.
