I am a new and frustrated Brave user. My frustration is with notifications. First when using Brave, I get frequent popups that have nothing to do with any site I visit or any topics I care about. They are easy to dismiss, but why am I getting them?

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):*Windows 10; *Brave Version 0.63.48

If notification checkbox is in ON state and google calendar is added to allowed list you should be able to receive calendar notifications as shown in below image.
