Is BlockTheSpot for Spotify desktop safe? Also, xmanager? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I stopped using a spotify cracked apk years ago when I noticed my email got hacked (technically, it may have been Pandora apk but I still decided to stop).

I have been recently paying premium for almost 1 year but I stopped working for a while I'd like to save some money. I'm wondering if BlockTheSpot by mrpond on GitHub is safe?

It looks like it's been updated 1 week ago so it should work. I'd assume anything on GitHub is safe but I'd still like to ask you guys.

Also, is there a way to download "Spotify for Windows (64 bit) 1.2.33.1039.g8ddb5918" safely... or do I just have to hope it works on the latest desktop version from the official spotify website and never update it?

EDIT: I'd like to also ask if xmanager for android is safe, I've been googling a bit about it and it'd be fantastic to be able to keep using spotify on my phone too, without listening to 1-2 ads per song

Just download the official client and use SpotX

Yeah this works perfect for me too. Using full installation it even download the latest working Spotify and removes the ms store version automatically. But I can also confirm mrpond blockthespot is also safe, just different developers and less features.
