This is a fix for those not receiving any advertisement notifications from Brave on Window 10 OS.
No downloads are required for this. So, let’s get ready for a Professional DIY Tech Fix!
Disclaimer: ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR WALLETS "Recovery Key"
Phase 1: The check up
Start < Settings < System < Notifications & actions
Make sure “Get notifications from apps and other senders” is set to “On”.
Scroll down until you see a list of “Get notifications from these senders” & look for “Brave”.
Phase 1 is now FINISHED!
If you DO NOT see “Brave” on the “Get notifications from these senders” list, please proceed to phase 2.
Phase 2: The fix
Go to: https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html
Select "Authorize"
When it asks “www.bennish.net wants to Show notifications” select "Allow"
The text box below the buttons should have printed: “Permission to display: granted”
Now select “Show”.
You will receive a notification,
this should force windows 10 to add “Brave” to the “Get notifications from these senders” list.
Repeat Phase 1 & you will see that “Brave” has successfully been added to the “Get notifications from these senders” list.
Phase 2 is now FINISHED!
Phase 3: The tune-up
Start < Settings < System < Notifications & actions < Brave
Notifications: On
Show notification banners: Ticked
Show notifications in action center: Ticked
Hide content when notifications are on lock screen: Un-ticked
Play a sound when a notification arrives: Ticked (optional)
Number of notifications visible in action center: 5
Priority of notifications in action center: Top
Now open the Brave browser.
Rewards < Ads Settings
chrome://rewards/
From there you can select: Maximum number of ads displayed per hour.
(5 per hour is currently the maximum)
Next customize your Auto-Contribute settings to your liking.
Rewards < Auto-Contribute
Now for the final step.
It’s time to tidy up your brave notifications from within the browser.
Go to: chrome://settings/content/notifications
Within this menu find: https://www.bennish.net “More actions” < “Remove” Do this with any site you don’t want showing notifications. (These settings are for website notifications & will NOT effect your ads)
Phase 3 is now FINISHED!
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the end and hopefully now you’re receiving ads!
I truly hope this helps a lot of you out there! I tried to make this guide as user-friendly as possible.
I thought I would contribute back to this great community with a great fix.
Let me know if I made your day or helped out someone you know!
Thank you to all the devs working on Brave. You guys think big! You’ve created a financial window for the entire world and that is truly incredible.
