I haven’t seen any ads for what seems like at least 2 weeks or so, but kinda just figured it would eventually pass. Yesterday though I noticed when I click on the Brave Rewards icon at the top right, I get a message saying that my wallet is unreachable and reconnecting it will solve the problem. So I go over to the rewards part in settings, lo and behold my wallet is disconnected for some reason. I go ahead and re-authorize it through Uphold and now it says “wallet verified”.
Well unfortunately, that seemed to fix nothing as I still don’t receive ads, and still get the whole “your wallet is unreachable, reconnecting will solve it” thing. I have no idea where to go from here.
Notifications are enabled.
I don’t see an icon for Brave in my taskbar though, and I know it used to be there, along with Chrome, which also isn’t showing an icon. Perhaps this was some recent update that I just wasn’t aware of?
Yeah, weird. No notifications are showing up. I checked Brave and Chrome, neither work. I haven’t changed any of my Windows settings, and I’m the only person who uses my computer. How would I go about re-enabling the taskbar icons?
Ok, I looked around a bit and realized that Windows’ focus assist was enabled, and it was filtering the notifications from the tool. I was able to see them all on the little notification side-window bar area. Still no ads though, and no Brave/Chrome icon in the taskbar. Also, thank you for taking time out to help me with this.
