Adless Spotify is a handy Chrome extension designed to mute Spotify's Webplayer automatically when advertisements are played. Upon first use, users calibrate the extension by pressing a button to help it recognize the word "advertisement" in their language. This intelligent approach ensures seamless muting of ads without interfering with Spotify's functionality. The extension detects ads by monitoring the tab title for ad-related cues, muting the tab only during advertisements, thus providing an uninterrupted music experience without manual intervention.

User reviews

Adless Spotify is generally praised for effectively muting ads during playback without blocking them, offering a peaceful listening experience when configured properly by specifying the ad title matching the Spotify language. Most users find it works well without issues. However, some experience that it does not work as intended, with ads still audible. The extension mutes ads silently rather than blocking them, which Spotify may still detect.

Pros

Effectively mutes Spotify ads instead of blocking them, resulting in silent ad periods.
Works well without noticeable drawbacks for most users.
Easy to configure by setting the ad title in the extension's options, compatible with Spotify's language settings.
Provides a peaceful listening experience by silencing ads.

Cons

Does not block ads but only mutes them, so ads still play silently.
Some users report it does not work and ads continue playing as normal.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Adless Spotify requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
