I've had iGoogle as my homepage for several years. Easiest way I've found to have email (Gmail), news, RSS, stock market portfolio, and local weather all on one page, with no ads. Refreshes itself every ten minutes (or however I want). Also provides quick links to YouTube, Web search, Image search, Google Groups, Translate, Calendar, etc.

Unfortunately the iGoogle service ends in November.

Anybody here using iGoogle? Have an idea for a good replacement?

What "home page consolidators" are we using?

Thanks.

I use it - and, same questions
 
I thought some sort of "Google Now" would replace it... but I don't use either.
 
I use Firefox as my primary browser on my desktop but I'm assuming that the same thing can be done using IE.

The most useful things to me in iGoogle are my CNN link and Google Bookmarks (which is 2/3 of what I have on the homepage besides a weather link). I use Image and Maps occasionally, Gmail is a security catastrophe and the rest are of no interest to me.

All the same Google links on iGoogle are available in the Classic Google home page. Other links can be easily created by adding a folder for each to the Bookmarks Toolbar at the top of the page. They don't need to be visible to me constantly. I've copied the contents of my Google Bookmarks gadget to a folder in the toolbar so it takes but 1 click to open the folder to access a bookmark while adding one is nearly as simple. I actually find them handier than being on the home page because I can access them without going back to the home page. CNN and the local weather each also have their own places in the toolbar now. Once iGoogle leaves, my Toolbar shortcuts will replace it
