# Ad Blocker for Spotify Web

This is an experimental, simple chrome extension to remove audio ads on Spotify web player. It’s available on the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spotify-ads-remover/mghhlojofjipigjobacbjdngmjafdeim?hl=iw&authuser=0) too.

## How ads are removed

Ads are removed by intercepting and then tampering with Spotify’s state machine requests/updates on the fly.

The states are modified so that states that represent ads are skipped over (pointing to the state afterwards). This is done in `ads_removal.js`.

I personally use ublock origin and works for me very well.
