Brave Ads are better than the ads they block in my opinion. They are opt in. They aren't targeted/tracking. They appear as notification bubbles so they don't disrupt page content. They don't run javascript which can be a security and performance problem.

I agree. As far as advertising goes, they're almost tolerable. I never thought I'd ever see the day an advertiser would allow people to turn off the ads.
They are targeted, but the targeting is imprecise and occurs client-side to improve anonymity.
