Awesome tool, much obliged for sharing it. Just a note --

I can see this tool is quietly sending out network tracking analytics in the background. Collecting analytics like this should be stated upfront, and ideally give a settings option for the user to disable the collection of analytics, as is customary in programs these days.

That being said, great tool!

You can easily remove the analytics stuff from the source code and compile the application for yourself. Search for https://github.com/Xeroday/Spotify-Ad-Blocker/search?q=LogAction and you will find everything what is send to google analytics.

I think the issue is that the fact that this is done is not stated to the user. A simple popup box on first start after install that informs the user that stats are reported would solve the stated issue. Most people wouldn't care at all, but not saying anything is likely to appear shady to some.
