A maintained hosts-file blocklist that redirects Spotify's ad and analytics/tracking domains to localhost, blocking ads and telemetry on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It also provides Pi-hole-compatible blocklist and whitelist files.
Use cases
- block spotify ads on a free account
- stop spotify from tracking me
- block spotify telemetry via hosts file
- add spotify ad domains to pi-hole
- listen to spotify without ads on linux
- block spotify analytics domains on mac
When to choose
- you want a simple, legal, DNS-level way to silence Spotify ads and tracking
- you use Pi-hole or manage a hosts file and want a curated Spotify blocklist
- you want cross-platform coverage without installing extra software
When to avoid
- you use Spotify Premium and just want a cleaner client
- you need guaranteed ad blocking - Spotify can serve ads from domains you whitelist for playback
- you want a turnkey app rather than manually editing a hosts file
- you need blocking inside the browser web player, which may behave differently
