This doesn't always work. For example, I used to (and still do) see a lot of fake websites when I l type revanced (https://revanced.app/) on duckduckgo, and I've nearly fallen for two of the fake ones before (I think two of .com / .org / .to...?)
Thankfully ublock origin warns users of this:
Otherwise, I'd have 100% downloaded some malware-loaded crap.
Just tried a search for Magisk and uBlock indeed does a great job at blocking all the scam websites.
It's important to note that new scam sites won't be picked up until someone reports them, so there's still a chance you'll be one of the first to a new domain.
