These aren’t ads like you normally get. They are notifications. So if on Windows, it will be noitification that comes up in the lower right corner of your screen. For example, I just opened my Notification Center in Windows and here are two Brave Ads:
They are small and nonintrusive overall. How annoying they can be is up to your notification settings in Windows. My settings for Brave look like this:
Again, those are Windows settings. I got there by going to Notification Center, Manage Notifications, scrolled to Brave on the list, and then it has these options. By default it usually shows Notification Banner which will pop up on the screen and can be annoying, appearing on top of content. Also, sound often is on. I turned that off so I didn’t have to keep hearing the annoying beeping and all every time a notification popped up.
Randomly, there’s no method to the madness. Just have your computer on, that’s it. Eventually it serves the ad notifications.
Two things to address here.
-
For your sanity and ours, try not to say wallet. The reason for this is we have Brave Rewards and then there’s Brave Wallet. When people say wallet, they start mixing the two together.
-
When ads appear, it records it in your browser. You can usually go to
brave://rewardsand you’ll see how many ads you’ve seen and theEstimated Earningsthat will pay out to you the following month.
You don’t. Brave determines this based on your device settings and IP address. For this reason, NEVER use an IP address that exists outside of your Locale. Otherwise it might try to show you “Florida” ads but it sees your IP in Japan, then you wouldn’t earn BAT for it and you might even get your account flagged. If you ever use something like a VPN, try to make sure you use an IP in your region OR turn off Brave Private Ads while you have the VPN going.
