Easy workaround for this:

1. Install uBlock Origin in Edge.

2. Start Edge, browse to MSN Weather.

3. Click the "Add an Application" button in the address bar to get a Start Menu icon for the page.

4. Delete the in-box Weather app icon.

Now you get the same Weather app in about 130MB of RAM, with no ads. It's not as nice as a native app, of course, but it's 1000% better than the useless ads and MSN feed that you can't block from the built-in Weather icon.

(Also, go into Widget settings and turn off "Discover / Microsoft Start feed". Same crap, different surface. Get rid of it.)

1. install ublock origin on Firefox.

not even being annoying, edge is removing manifest v2 very soon, breaking proper ad blocks just like chrome

		I don't know if I'd say that's gonna break "proper ad blocks". UBO Lite (the MV3 version of UBO) seems to work just fine in my experience, at the core function of being an ad blocker,
