Mind explaining a bit further for those who aren’t familiar with iGoogle?

Sorry to "LMGTFY", but Wikipedia does have good info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGoogle
Also a good list of alternatives when iGoogle was shut down in 2013, https://www.computerworld.com/article/1521275/there-s-no-pla...

One could even fit their own "widgets" into their homepage to extend functionality, eg show the weather or tide.

don't chrome and firefox both still have new tab/home pages? it's just that most HN users turned the feature off when they started displaying ads and propaganda.

Sorry! There is a screenshot on anori.app which will tell it better that my words I believe. But in short, Anori allows you to add different widgets to your new tab (bookmarks, world time, notes, etc) and organize them in layout you like.
There was similar product from Google 15 years ago which allowed to create personalized start page with different widgets, but it was closed long ago. I wasn't familiar with it first-hand, but I found it funny how similar concept Anori had to iGoogle when I finally learned about it
