Wikipedia keeps track of official URLs for popular websites. With DNS over Wikipedia installed, domains ending with . Idk are resolved by searching Wikipedia and extracting the relevant URL from the infobox.

Example:

  1. Type scihub.idk / in browser address bar
  2. Observe redirect to https://sci-hub.tw (at the time of writing)

Instead of googling for the site, I google for the site’s Wikipedia article (“schihub wiki”) which usually has an up-to-date link to the site in the sidebar, whereas Google is forced to censor their results.

If you Google “Piratebay”, the first search result is a fake “thepirate-bay.org” (with a dash) but the Wikipedia article lists the right one. –
