sci-hub.se works here (France), however sci-hub.tw does not load anymore.
I'll say that if neither sci-hub.se nor sci-hub.st load on your connection, they are probably blocked for legal reasons at your place and you should of course neither attempt to switch to another DNS server nor put the following text in your /etc/hosts file to make them resolve:
It relies on knowing what paywall I want to circumvent with some paper's ID
When really I just want to browse
I'm not in academia and I feel like everyone salivating over Scihub don't realize this use case, because they already know what publications they don't have access to
Since its almost 10 years after Scihub launched, is there a chrome extension or other wrapper for to make browsing easy on it, or some app that indexes newly released papers from a variety of journals and auto generates the scihub link equivalent?
I had the same response when I first got started with it. Thing is, that's not what it was designed for. There's tons of other resources to use when actually researching; scihub just makes sure that what you find, you can access.
