i dont really get the confusion over minecraft. It's immensely profitable, it's a video game, it's on xbox, why on gods green earth would microsoft NOT buy it?

2.5b may be steep, but we are not even near the same ballpark of whatsapp.
because they were already making money from it selling on xbox and 2.5 billion dollars is way too much anything for some silly game nobody will give a poo poo about in 5 years

disconnect is ghostery but open sores and not developed by an ad company if you care about such things

it's on firefox, idk about chrome because chrome is a bad browser

also ublock rules and adblock drools

you served a site to the public. i'll use whatever frankenstein browser combination i want, and if it fouls your ad revenues, that's your problem
