Could you show a print screen of it?

It’s possible it could be a malicious extension that got installed. When you say “top right” do you mean where the close button is? Or near the hamburger (three line) menu, wallet, now playing, and extension buttons? Or inside the web site you are viewing?

It definitely isn’t happening on my Brave, so my best guess is that you have malware on your computer or specifically in the browser.

@totalclarity,
It sounds like you’ve enabled Brave Ads by accident. This can be disabled by going to Settings --> Brave Rewards and turning the Ads toggle “Off”:
