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.

Notes

This does not work with the snap and Flatpak Spotify packages.

Build

Prerequisites:

Git
Make
Rust

$ git clone https://github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock.git
$ cd spotify-adblock
$ make

Install

$ sudo make install

Usage

Command-line

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify

Desktop file

You can integrate it with your desktop environment by creating a .desktop file (e.g. spotify-adblock.desktop) in ~/.local/share/applications. This lets you easily run it from an application launcher without opening a terminal.

Example

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Spotify (adblock)
GenericName=Music Player
Icon=spotify-client
TryExec=spotify
Exec=env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify %U
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/spotify;
Categories=Audio;Music;Player;AudioVideo;
StartupWMClass=spotify

Uninstall

$ sudo make uninstall

Configuration

The allowlist and denylist can be configured in a config file located at /etc/spotify-adblock/config.toml, which can be overriden by (in ascending order of precedence):

~/.config/spotify-adblock/config.toml
config.toml in the working directory
