Windows needs to stop showing tabloid news

It's not just the search windows, Windows 11 also introduced a new sidebar feature with customisable widgets but there was no way to turn off these crappy articles completely. From memory you could customise them somewhat by providing some preferred interests, but no way to turn them off. I no longer use Windows at home - that was the last straw and am now completely on Pop_OS.

That sounds like an attack vector for malware, like the old windows desktop widgets they finally had to shutdown and turned off by default.
