A Spotify adblocker for Linux implemented as a shared library that wraps cef_urlrequest_create and blocks requests to denylisted URLs via LD_PRELOAD. It is written in Rust and supports both Debian and Flatpak Spotify installations.
Use cases
- block ads in the Spotify desktop client on Linux
- skip audio ads without paying for Spotify Premium
- prevent Spotify from loading ad and tracking URLs
- run Spotify with ad blocking via LD_PRELOAD
- configure allowlists and denylists for Spotify requests
- integrate an ad-free Spotify launcher into a desktop environment
When to choose
- you use the Debian or Flatpak Spotify client on Linux and want to remove ads
- you prefer a lightweight native library over a modified Spotify client
- you want configurable URL allow/deny lists for Spotify traffic
When to avoid
- you installed Spotify via snap, which is unsupported
- your Flatpak shared library versions are incompatible
- you need ad blocking on Windows or macOS
- you want a fully supported, ToS-compliant listening experience
