DNS over Wikipedia Firefox

DNS over Wikipedia

Resolve .idk domains using the URL provided by the Wikipedia page for a given topic

Features & Capabilities

DNS over Wikipedia is a unique Chrome extension that simplifies domain resolution for .idk domains by utilizing Wikipedia as a trusted source. When a user types a .idk domain in their browser, the extension searches Wikipedia for the relevant topic and extracts the official URL from the page's infobox to redirect the user seamlessly.

For example, typing scihub.idk will redirect you to the official Sci-Hub website listed on its Wikipedia page. This innovative approach ensures accurate and reliable domain resolution using Wikipedia's up-to-date information. Created by Aaron Janse and Vihan Bhargava, this extension enhances navigation for ambiguous or uncertain domain names by leveraging Wikipedia's authoritative data.

Is DNS over Wikipedia Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DNS over Wikipedia requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
