It happens every once in a while when a story on your Google Discover news feed will mysteriously take you to Google’s 404 (Not Found) page—despite the story being very much live at the time.

BleepingComputer has been observing this behavior over the past few weeks at random on Android devices, and we are able to identify the cause of the problem.

Here’s how you can still read your favorite stories, and even workaround the bug that has occasionally bothered some users in the past.

    My fix is actively avoid Google news and discover as most of the articles are ragebait or clickbait

      I’m still trying to make it work for me, because I like the idea in theory. But no matter what I give likes to, I mostly get garbage in my recommendations. And the rare article that’s interesting is usually paywalled.
