I've been using iGoogle, but it is going away on November 1. I hate to lose it since I set it up with gadgets and feeds for news, weather, business, sports, entertainment, etc., like a newspaper. It also makes if fast to get to mail and YouTube.

Do you have a home page portal that you recommend?

Thanks.

Chrome. Had some troubles with IE that were solved by going to Chrome.

I don't use one. I go to news, weather, etc. sites when I want that information.

In the same boat as OP, I relied heavily on igoogle. Haven't found a good replacement yet

I have used MyWay My Way - Our Mission for years. Clean and very "customizable". I thought I might switch to iGoogle, but then they pulled the plug on it.

I use FireFox and have 5 or 6 TABS and set them as my HOMEPAGE so I get all the sites I visit each time I open up.

Yahoo-Mail, Craigslist, Scottrade, Facebook, TBN :D and Forestry-Forum. This way I have all the tabs open that I look for and at all the time. After I'm done with yahoo-mail I switch and click the Finance tab on the Yahoo Bar at top.

Yeah, igoogle was great! I am using the awesome new tab page which is okay, but doesn't give me everything Igoogle did. Yahoo mypage or whatever its called is horrible and pointless to me.

Of late I've had Chrome open to the New Tab screen though I've also been known to have it open to MSN or even just Google.

Not sure if a home page is relevant anymore. Found this article with some suggestions...

Hadn't realized they were killing it, guess it's been a long time since I used it.

Chrome works good for me, was using firefox until it started acting up and reloading it didnt help. I never had any luck with IE it always seemed slow but there are some sites that only IE seem to work with, my wife has to use it to print her pay stub.

Used IE, Mozilla, SeaMonkey and the last few years Firefox. With Firefox you can set it up anyway you want.
