I would really like to know a good alternative for iGoogle too. My dad has been using it for years as his default homepage and he asks me now and then if I know an alternative because he knew it was ending. He likes it because of the widgets (weather, traffic, notepad, task lists et cetera) and the fact that the Google search is integrated on the same page.

People suggested Symbaloo, but that's only a nice iconic representation of hyperlinks. I don't think there is a site with the same concept as iGoogle. If anyone knows a good altenative then I'd really like to know to make my dad happy again ;)

I somehow understand the move of Google to stop doing iGoogle, because similar widgets are now by default integrated in Windows/Android itself.

I switched over to http://www.protopage.com/ last week, but I don't think you can configure the fonts easily there either so may not be of interest to you. It works for me so far at least.

Wow it's been at least 6 years I haven't heard about Netvibes. It was a so-called Web 2.0 pioneer. Is it still out there? Let me check my account..

Before iGoogle I used my.yahoo.com. Not really tempted at going back though it does still exist (and apparently never changed, 7 years later).

How about a site-specific CSS to set the fontage? If that's your main issue with the site it should be a quick fix.

Or just set your browser to ignore sites' font specifications. Less eye-strain that way in general.

Digg Reader for your RSS feeds, it's a good-looking clone of Google Reader. As for the widgets, you may give a try to My Yahoo since it has been redesigned recently.

igHome is the suggested alternative: http://www.ighome.com/
