Does Google have 86-90% of Global Search Market?

I saw 2 independent articles that talk about Google having 86-90% of the global search market.
Anyone know if this is the commonly shared view?

First Chrome Extension!

Ok. This isn't quite Android related, but didn't want to start a new blog just for this.....

I got sick and tired of the new Google News format with the useless 3rd column on the right that takes up a good chunk of my page.

Looks like Google isn't going back to its original format (I am not sure I understand why). Anyway, write a simple Chrome extension that kills the extra column. Hope to fix the extension to make it more flexible, but wanted to get this working now for people.....

You can get the extension here
Project sources here.

Please let me know if you like it!
