Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Default states are: Yes, Default Shield was Up
Block: Ads/Trackers, 3rd Party Cookies, 3rd Party Fingerprinting Allow: Encrypt Connections (HTTPS), Scripts

Where and how do the ads appear? (fill out below)
Ads are showing up on my desktop in the bottom right corner. They look like notifications. My settings are the default settings of the browser. Not sure if this is supposed to happened. Will I get paid BAT if I click on them? How do I disable them? I would appreciate any help. The ad notifications are inhibiting the experience of using the browser.

URL where ad was displayed:
Brave home screen, Binance., and other sites. It seems to be site agnostic.

You may have Brave Ads enabled under brave://rewards, @RicoM. With this setting enabled, Brave will show you Brave Ads as system notification. And yes, you can earn BAT for your attention.

If you want, you can disable it. https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/sections/360004119132-Brave-Ads

@eljuno Thank you! I did have Brave Ads enabled. I disabled them now, so we will see if that does the trick.
