Not receiving any ads at all, it’s been ages since I’ve last seen any ads and I’m a web designer so use the browser constantly for at least 10+ hours a day!
What do I need to do to fix this? as I may as well go use Chrome if I’m not getting rewards for using Brave.
Please see our Brave Ads FAQ, it covers multiple reasons why you might not be seeing ads. You mention not seeing 5 ads. That setting is a ceiling rather than a floor. It does not dictate how many ads you will see per hour – it dictates the maximum number of ads you may see per hour. This number will always fall between 0 and X, inclusive.
