The best starting page for your browser

I personally, until recently, I did not use start page of your browser. By default, there's just been a Google search and all. But the news that Google closes iGoogle (front page with news, widgets, etc.) raised resonance among the members and I decided to find out whether the iGoogle whether analogs and their worth use? It is worth noting that on the Internet you can find dozens of different home pages. Therefore, we decided to concentrate on the most rewarding ones and those who have the greatest functionality.

Netvibes main feature is its focus on your RSS. He has a bunch of widgets including weather widget, News, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and other actions. Also has widgets for many of the popular sites, but if you do not find your favorite site on their list, you can simply paste it into your web page, the functionality allows it.

In our list Netvibes gets the palm of customization. It has literally everything from changing themes and ending with its own RSS reader. The lack of just one - if you can not configure it in detail and correctly, it is unlikely you'll like.

Protopage very similar to Netvibes. You will also have your personal page, which you can customize at will, changing the theme, the number of bookmarks, and so on. It has a built-in widgets, but the emphasis is on the fact that you can create your own widgets to your page by adding social networks, email, or creating them from other web pages.

The easier-to-use Unlike Netvibs, Protopage. Widgets are moving very smoothly and are there where you have inserted them. Only slight problem is that the amount of built-in widgets is small and you can easily find not among them you want.

Symbaloo appreciate its design tile interface lovers. Each widget in it - this individual square, when you click on that, it opens in the center of the screen. Clicking on a square with recipes - in the middle of the screen a window will appear with the search bar, and when you click on the widget Encyclopedia - opens a search on Wikipedia.

What is interesting is that users can be divided to create a page so you can always find a cool pattern. There is also a separate news tab, by clicking on that, you get a list of the latest news, which will be sorted by importance.

uStart longer confined to perform social functions. There's a favorite widgets RSS, Instagram, Twitter, and other notes. Also, he has a bunch of options and you can customize each widget on your own. And if you've had an account to iGoogle or Netvibes, you can even transfer your settings here.

This service has the greatest number of widgets among its competitors, and the number of settings, each of them will plunge you into shock. However, its interface does not look so it can push. In all the rest - the service is cool!

I have set My Yahoo in the very end, not because it is bad, but because of the fact that its usefulness is questionable for us. My Yahoo, clearly, the most beautiful of all the services listed above, but it is less than all the ground under the Russian-speaking countries. For example, in the weather forecast, I could not even find your city!

Among other things, the number of settings are minimal and many will not like it. My Yahoo also has the ability to import from iGoogle, so the transition from the last will be completely painless. If you know English well and you do not mind poor integration with the Russian-speaking Internet, the My Yahoo you will enjoy 100%.

It is difficult to say which service is the best, since each of them has advantages and disadvantages. But you can determine which services will be the best for you. On the sample of each of them it will take no more than 5 minutes, so you will quickly have selected a favorite.
