+earnest's personal clone of spotify-adblock (build helped with Nix) on a foreign system, lol
+
+You should have [Spotify installed through the Debian package](https://www.spotify.com/ca-en/download/linux/) and probably `build-essential` and `git` installed as well.

 # spotify-adblock
 Spotify adblocker for Linux (macOS untested) that works by wrapping `getaddrinfo` and `cef_urlrequest_create`. It blocks requests to domains that are not on the allowlist, as well as URLs that are on the denylist.
