Thanks for your comment.
>I understand...Amaia<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /> <br />>I understand why some people like Netvibes, but the good thing about having so many options is that everybody can choose the one that has most of the things they like. <br /><br />Agreed. I posted my off-topic opinion that I found Netvibes to be better that iGoogle, in case there were still ex-iGoogle users out there who had not found a browser home page to their liking. <br /><br />>For instance, I chose http://start.me because it is very simple to use, has a clean design and I could build it very fast, which were mainly the reasons I used iGoogle.<br /><br />Glad you found <a href="http://www.startme.com/" rel="nofollow">StartMe</a> met your requirements.<br /><br />But as I mentioned, I tried StartMe, but I did not explain why I rejected it. It seemed too cluttered with news feeds I didn't want. Also it didn't seem to have a Google search window. <br /><br />Maybe there was a way to begin StartMe with a clean page and then add a Google search window, but it was not immediately obvious to me. <br /><br />As I said in my post, I would have thought that one of those designers of browser home pages which were aiming to attract iGoogle's ~15 million ex-customers, would have provided a clean page with options to: 1) easily import an iGoogle user's RSS feeds; 2) add a Google's search engine box; and 3) did not have any features that iGoogle did not have which could not be easily removed.<br /><br />Even Netvibes didn't do that, but I found it the easiest to obtain a home page that could be customised to arrive at a close fit to my former iGoogle page.<br /><br />Stephen E.
