I think http://www.blockaid.me/ http://www.blockaid.me/ has been doing this, too, and I believe there were others.
Some other approaches I've seen are based on Namecoin somehow. DNSChain for example uses a custom "regular" DNS server to resolve .bit domains. So in works in a similar way, but in a much more distributed way, I think, because you can also create your own DNSChain server, and then be able to visit all of those .bit domains, once you use a DNSChain server's IP.

Then there's the FreeSpeechMe Firefox plugin that when installed also allows you to view .bit domains.

My favorite right now is DNSChain, because it's federated, but ideally, both Firefox and Chrome would have support for .bit domains built-in. Then as long as you'd be using these browsers, nobody could censor those .bit domains.
I doubt they will do it anytime soon, though, so until then the only browser that will do something like this seems to be the upcoming browser from ThePirateBay, which is meant primarily to save TPB from global censorship, but any website that's compatible with their protocol will work within their browser, and while it won't get the customer base of Chrome or Firefox, it should be a few million strong.

- itistoday2 13y agoSome more info on what DNSChain does (it goes a bit beyond access to .bit, it also provides a RESTful and securely authenticated HTTP API to the blockchain, currently reading but writing is possible): + *.dns metaTLD (blockchain agnostic): http://blog.okturtles.com/2014/02/introducing-the-dotdns-metatld/ http://blog.okturtles.com/2014/02/introducing-the-dotdns-met... + whitepaper that gives overview: http://okturtles.com/other/dnsnmc_okturtles_overview.pdf http://okturtles.com/other/dnsnmc_okturtles_overview.pdf
