There is only one solution to this that is do not log in to your samsung account.

Not really. I know this was also suggested by geekyranjit.But I have logged into my Samsung account but have never seen ads coz I have disabled all kinds of marketing from the start and the customization service app. Samsung you better not screw this with an update.

The ads are being shown because of android system webview from The weather channel's website. Check my post on how to get rid of ads:

one thing that worked for me is

1. opting out of custom services app
2. Disabling the samsunv push notifications
3. opting out of custom ads in Google.

If this trend happens in premium phones its disaster .
I came from iPhone 11 pro max to s21 ultra expecting good software but
ads every where is unacceptable.
shame .

completely agree. though i am not getting adds, but the experience is not flagship level, battery drain, heating while using camera.. these are supposed to be problems in 15-20k phones.. not 1lakh+
