    If “Googling” falls into common usage to cover all web search, Alphabet lose their trademark protection…

      “Kleenex” being more common than “facial tissue” is not hurting the Kleenex brand at all.

        Kleenex has not reached the stage where they’ve lost the trademark. Also everyone I know just says tissue.

          My point is if you want to hurt Google advertising for them hoping they lose the trademark is not going to do it. Naming whatever alternative search engine you used to spread awareness is much more effective.
