Are banner based ads blocked?

[simar7]

Hello,

I'm running this on a macOS Catalina. I still see banner based ads like the one below

I personally find these ads even more intrusive than audio based ones because they hinder user experience of the app itself.

Any ideas what we could block in terms of domains to address them?

[eyehol3]

have you solved it somehow?

Kinda late but for anyone that comes across it in the future:

how to disable the blank ad banner without losing the friend activity?
my spotify version is 1.1.5.153
