Google's dominance in decline as its overall share of online search dips below 90% for the first time in a decade, and its desktop PC share is now below 80% and falling fast

Google Chrome.

Google's share of online search is on the slide according to Statcounter (via Tuta). Google's overall share of web searches has fallen below 90% for the first time in a decade. But it's doing even worse in certain categories and territories, including desktop PC users and in Europe, both of which have dipped below 80% share and are falling fast.

Of course, Google still dominates search, but these numbers are very significant. As Tuta reports, with roughly five billion internet users, a shift of just 1% means 50 million people changing their search habits.
