No Ads - Notification not made: Not initialized

In US, I have not received ads in Brave Dev or Brave browser. I have followed the debug steps in the other threads and the message I get is:

INFO:ads_impl.cc(592)] Notification not made: Not initialized

I have not found this message in any other thread. Please let me know what other info you need from me.

Brave: Version 0.64.76 Chromium: 74.0.3729.157 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thanks for reporting @jsandieg.

@jsandieg Could you please visit https://ads-serve.brave.com/v1/catalog and capture the output and share? Also do you happen to see Failed to save bundle state or Failed to reset bundle state in the logs?

Hi @gabrus. So the catalog is downloaded that means its working fine. Do you have any video playing in a background tab while you browse? If so this is a known issue where ads are not shown if a background tab is playing video. Also what is the language settings in your Linux machine? Could you take a screenshot of it and share?
