Current Version: 0.42
Last updated: 7 January 2020
Last tested version: 1.1.22.633.g1bab253a

Important Notice(s)

This .dll is virus free, false checks may appear. This can be reassured via the source code.
"chrome_elf.dll" gets replaced by Spotify Installer each time it updates, make sure to replace it again.

Features:

  • Blocks all banner/video/audio ads within the app
  • Retains friend, vertical video and radio functionality
  • Unlocks the skip function for any track
  • Built-in AdGuard DNS for ads blocking!

⚠️ This mod is for the Desktop Application of Spotify on Windows, not the Microsoft Store version.

Installation/Update:

  1. Browse to Spotify installation folder %APPDATA%/Spotify
  2. Backup existing chrome_elf.dll by renaming it (e.g. chrome_elf.bak)
  3. Download chrome_elf.zip
  4. Extract chrome_elf.dll, config.ini from chrome_elf.zip to that folder.

Uninstall:

  1. Browse to Spotify installation folder %APPDATA%/Spotify
  2. Simply delete chrome_elf.dll, config.ini from your Spotify installation
  3. Rename your backup dll to chrome_elf.dll

Note:

  • Starting from v0.42, AdGuardDNS look up in config.ini are disable by default.
  • Built-in AdGuard DNS lookup, paranoid people may see additional DNS traffic UDP(53) going out to Adguard DNS Server.
  • if you can't reach AdGuard DNS for some reason, things still working as expected.

Known Issues and Caveats:

  • Ads banner maybe appear if you network use 'Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Auto-Discovery_Protocol set Skip_wpad in config.ini to 1 may help.
  • On windows 7, Ads Blocking may not work set WinHttpReadDataFix in config.ini to 1 may help.
  • Built-in AdGuard DNS lookup, maybe cause application slowdown, set AdGuardDNS in config.ini to 0 to turn this feature off.
