Description

If you are using Brave on an external monitor, the Ad notification only displays on your main (laptop) screen, so it is easily missed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an external monitor set up.
  2. Launch 0.60.9 to use Ads.
  3. Enable Ads if not already enabled.
  4. Browse for awhile until you get an Ad

Actual result:

Ad notification is displayed on laptop screen but you are working on external monitor. Some other apps also behave this way (Slack for example).

Expected result:

Would be nice if Ad notification could be displayed on the monitor you are working on.

Reproduces how often:

easily

@LaurenWags This is a limitation of macOS whereby notifications appear on the same display as the menu bar, which can be changed in Preferences/Displays/Arrangement

This is a limitation on Windows as well. Notifications always shows up on main screen irrespective of where the app is (primary display or secondary display)
