Setting up notifications in Brave.

Introduction

Brave is a privacy-focused browser that offers customizable notifications to help you stay informed without sacrificing control. Notifications can alert you about site updates, messages, or system events. This article will guide you through configuring, customizing, and troubleshooting notifications in Brave on desktop platforms.

Understanding Brave Notifications

Notifications in Brave bridge the gap between your browsing experience and real-time updates. They can originate from websites, extensions, or the browser itself.

• Website Notifications: Alerts from sites you’ve granted permission to.
• Extension Notifications: Messages or prompts from installed browser extensions.
• Browser Alerts: System-level messages such as update reminders.

Granting or Blocking Site Notifications

Step 1: Open Brave Settings

First, launch Brave and navigate to the settings panel:

1. Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner.
2. Select Settings from the dropdown.
3. In the left sidebar, choose Privacy and security.

Step 2: Access Site Permissions

Within Privacy and security, locate Site and Shields Settings and then select Notifications. Here, you’ll see a list of sites with their current notification status.

Step 3: Manage Individual Site Permissions

• To allow notifications, click Add under the Allowed to send notifications section, then enter the site URL.
• To block, find the site under Blocked and click the trash icon or choose Remove.
• You can also toggle the global switch at the top to disable all site notifications.

Configuring System-Level Notification Settings

Brave notifications rely on your operating system’s notification center. Ensure your OS is set to receive Brave alerts.

Windows

• Open Settings gt System gt Notifications amp actions.
• Find Brave Browser in the app list and toggle notifications on.
• Customize toast duration, banner style, and sound as needed.

macOS

• Open System Preferences gt Notifications.
• Select Brave in the sidebar.
• Enable Allow Notifications and choose alert style: Banners or Alerts.

Linux (Ubuntu example)

• Open Settings gt Notifications.
• Ensure Brave appears in the application list and is enabled.
• Adjust sound and pop-up preferences under Notification Settings.

Customizing Notification Behavior

Brave lets you fine-tune how notifications appear and sound.

Quiet Notifications

If you prefer minimal interruptions, enable Quiet Notification Prompts under Site and Shields Settings. When a site requests permission, a small icon appears in the address bar instead of a pop-up.

Notification Blocklists

For sites you want to silence permanently, add them to the blocklist:

1. Settings gt Privacy and security gt Site and Shields Settings gt Notifications.
2. Under Blocked, click Add and input the URL.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• No Notifications Appearing
  • Verify site permissions in Brave settings.
  • Ensure OS notification for Brave is enabled.
• Notifications Missing Content
  • Disable any adblockers or script blockers for the site.
  • Check that the site’s service worker is active (developer tools gt Application gt Service Workers).
• Notifications Arrive Late
  • Confirm your system clock is correct.
  • Test on a different network to rule out connectivity delays.
