I love this work so far, keep it up 👍 But after I modified the /etc/hosts file, flushed cache, listened through spotify web player or the standalone app, there were ads coming through. Even with additional lines:

Bottom left of spotify window. The ads just keep rolling one after the other: Screen Shot 2021-06-19 at 09 40 33

The only way right now to get no ads on the computer is listen to spotify web player on chrome with ublock origin enabled. But I really don't prefer to use the browsers with ublock. There has to be a way :)
