How to set up push notifications in Brave.

Introduction

Push notifications are an essential feature that allow websites and web applications to send timely updates directly to your desktop or mobile device, even when the browser is minimized or running in the background. Brave, a privacy-focused web browser, includes robust controls for managing these notifications while protecting your data and reducing unwanted interruptions. This article provides a detailed walkthrough on how to set up, manage, and troubleshoot push notifications in Brave.

Requirements and Preparations

• Brave Version: Ensure you are running Brave 1.0 or later. You can check your version by navigating to Settings gt About Brave.
• Supported Platforms: Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Android. iOS has limited support due to Apple’s restrictions on web push.
• Internet Connection: A stable connection is required for receiving notifications in real time.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Notifications Not Arriving: Check your operating system’s notification center to ensure Brave is allowed to display notifications.
• Sound Not Playing: Verify that the Sound setting is enabled in the Brave notification settings table above.
• Site Not Listed: Some sites require you to interact with them (e.g., logging in) before they can request notification permission.
• Ad-Block or Privacy Shields Enabled: If Brave Shields is blocking scripts, click the Shields icon in the URL bar and temporarily lower the shield or disable script blocking for that site.

Best Practices and Security Considerations

Push notifications can be both helpful and intrusive. To maintain privacy and minimize distractions, follow these guidelines:

• Only allow notifications from trusted websites you frequently use.
• Regularly review your allowed and blocked lists in Brave settings.
• Disable notifications on less critical sites or when you need uninterrupted focus.
• Consider using Brave’s focus mode or Do Not Disturb features on your OS to temporarily mute notifications during work sessions.
