Brave wants me to do what?

I am getting this popup window in the top right corner stating “Brave Ads Paused”. It wants me to do some sort of puzzle. Say what? You want ME to do work to give YOU the right to spam me with ads? In addition, the window cannot be closed or moved and it’s always on top, so it blocks me from doing anything requiring reading or clicking on the portion of the screen covered by the demand. So, by making my computer less functional, it is trying to FORCE me to do this puzzle so YOU can spam me with ads?

I don’t think so. Time to uninstall Brave and find a different browser.

@roberthubbard0 if you’re seeing that notification then it means you opted into Brave Rewards. The captcha puzzles are there to see who is still active but then also being used to queue people to be able to opt into on chain payouts.

Brave never spams ads and you have full control over whether you see any. In terms of the notice, either disable Rewards or solve it.
