I've done some research that indicates this is an issue with particular javascript implementations, but it has caused me to consider looking elsewhere for my RSS interface. @7: Yes, I also use Netvibes for everything, but with an opml of over 100 feeds there are some serious performance issues under Firefox, such as huge memory suckage.

It's been my start page for about a year now. I had a bad experience with flaky Javascript at Pagesflakes, and iGoogle is just pure grunge. Netvibes is not lightning fast (try setting it to update tabs one at a time), but it's rock-solid reliable. And independent. And (ahem) European. So Tarik, you have a happy Web 2.0 "customer" here. There's no money in it (yet), but the service is so decent that I'll think very hard before moving now. Netvibes is close to perfect. It’s been my start page for about a year now.

You can add so many things on your page and I get to keep track on the latest news on each blog by looking at the feeds... But then again, I suffer from lag each time I open up my firefox - I set it on open my previous tabs.. It's pretty slow opening netvibes.. Anyone got the same experience? Would Ginger performs the same? Ah!~ I have been using Netvibes for quite sometime now and I love every moment of using it!
