At the official blog post they say

We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for iGoogle has eroded over time, so we’ll be winding it down.

What are these apps? I use Firefox on the desktop and iOS for mobile. Maybe portals are outdated but they still work (especially iGoogle) and the fact that nobody in this thread has pointed out any great alternative is a little disheartening. And leaving tabs open is a horrible UI experience.
