BlockTheSpot
Video, audio & banner adblock/skip for Spotify
BlockTheSpot is an open-source modification tool designed to block advertisements and bypass certain limitations in the Spotify desktop application for Windows. It works by patching the Spotify client and injecting custom logic that prevents audio, video, and banner ads from being displayed or played during usage. The tool focuses primarily on performance and ad suppression rather than cosmetic changes, ensuring that playback remains uninterrupted. It includes configurable options that allow users to enable or disable features dynamically, often through developer settings or configuration files. The project operates at a low level by modifying application components, which makes it effective but also susceptible to breaking when Spotify updates its software. It has gained popularity as a workaround for ad-supported tiers, though it requires manual installation and maintenance. -

Opera shares Chrome's underlying engine, so you can install uBlock simply by grabbing the latest release for Chrome.To benefit from uBlock's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other blockers at the same time (such as AdBlock or Adblock Plus). uBlock will do as well or better than most popular ad blockers. It's important to note that blocking ads is not theft. Don't fall for this creepy idea. The ultimate logical consequence of blocking = theft is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy. -

Privacy Badger
Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers
Privacy Badger is a browser extension that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web. If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it’s like you suddenly disappeared. Privacy Badger was born out of our desire to be able to recommend a single extension that would automatically analyze and block any tracker or ad that violated the principle of user consent; which could function well without any settings, knowledge, or configuration by the user; which is produced by an organization that is unambiguously working for its users rather than for advertisers; and which uses algorithmic methods to decide what is and isn’t tracking. -

Luakit
Fast, small, webkit based browser framework extensible by Lua
Luakit is a highly configurable browser framework based on the WebKit web content engine and the GTK+ toolkit. It is very fast, extensible with Lua, and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 license. It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and anyone who wants to have fine-grained control over their web browser’s behavior and interface. While switching to the WebKit 2 API means a vastly improved security situation, not all distributions of Linux package the most up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+, and several package very outdated versions that have many known vulnerabilities. As of September 2019, Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and Ubuntu all have the latest version of WebKitGTK+, but OpenSUSE ships an outdated and vulnerable version in their stable channel. If you use Luakit for browsing, it is your responsibility to ensure that your distribution packages an up-to-date version of WebKitGTK+! -

Privaxy is the next generation tracker and advertisement blocker
Next generation tracker and advertisement blocker. Privaxy is a MITM HTTP(s) proxy that sits in between HTTP(s) talking applications, such as a web browser and HTTP servers, such as those serving websites. By establishing a two-way tunnel between both ends, Privaxy is able to block network requests based on URL patterns and to inject scripts as well as styles into HTML documents. Operating at a lower level, Privaxy is both more efficient as well as more streamlined than browser add-on-based blockers. A single instance of Privaxy on a small virtual machine, server or even, on the same computer as the traffic is originating from, can filter thousands of requests per second while requiring a very small amount of memory. -
