Please remove the webcam feature

Love Windy.
But the webcam feature is utterly pointless (nobody cares about webcams in 2019), and they come up at the worst moment, in a very obtrusive way, with no way to dismiss them other than to dismiss the entire pane that I wanted to view.

@jorisww As a paraglider pilot I find it really useful. I can now easy check webcams close to a startingplace and check weather conditions. And at some spots I even can see my comrades flying while sitting at work e.g. https://holfuy.com/de/camera/501

As an operational meteorologist, by using webcams I can see:
a) what kind of clouds exist in many locations not covered by manned meteo. stations.
b) time of rain/snow start/stop.
c) the evolution of the weather during the previous 24hrs in a certain place (to compare with the forecast I wrote down).
Also very usefull for pilots who fly in isolated airports
