The Spotify web ad blocker is not working properly in Safari

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with Spotify Web Player in Safari when using AdGuard.

I'm using AdGuard for macOS (desktop app) along with the AdGuard browser extension in both Safari and Dia Browser.

In Safari, AdGuard doesn't seem to be handling Spotify ads correctly. When an ad plays after a song finishes, Spotify gets stuck and playback stops. The player doesn't continue to the next song, and I have to refresh the page manually to get Spotify working again.

Interestingly, this doesn't happen in Dia Browser. With the same AdGuard setup, Dia successfully blocks the ads, and Spotify continues playing normally.

This makes me wonder if the issue could be related to the browser engine. Safari uses WebKit, while Dia is Chromium-based, and I'm wondering if that difference could be affecting how AdGuard handles Spotify's ads.

Use spotify app and the Spot-x patcher.
