Block Spotify Advertisements - skeL - 09-25-2016
Just put the following text in your hosts file (located at C:\ -> Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc -> hosts). Every traffic that's being used by the advertising module will be redirected to your localhost which results in no advertisements.
Code:

I edit the Hosts file quite often, one of which Is to block pirated Adobe products from deactivating.
I shall check this out further.
Thanks, appreciated.

Updated my host file, still playing advertisements. Is a restart required?

You probably have to restart the program or your computer in order to force it to request new advertisements.

Still now working, might be a local issue. Can anyone verify?
