Mozilla is a scary example: 94% of their revenue comes from a handful of search companies, with likely 90% of it coming straight from Google.

The article says the big pay was from a fixed-per-year deal Yahoo! initiated in 2014, which ended late last year. Rumor is the Google deal is traffic-based, so very likely a lot smaller per annum, and variable.
