What do you mean by "they control the app fully"? Something like https://github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock will let you run the app without ads, which kinda contradicts the idea they control the app fully.
Oh really? I didn't know about that. Thanks! I meant they theoretically have full control over the app since they build the whole thing, rather than have it run in a browser environment which they can't control and could theoretically be altered with extensions etc. Seems they're not that great at controlling their own app either, lol
Happy to help!
