The CSS in this extension uses googles minified/compiled class names.

Those will change every ~week as Google releases a new frontend version. Presumably the lead designer knows that.

How does he intend to keep this extension working?

Some classnames don't change often and some do. I'm updating the extension as they change and trying to use more stable css selectors (like div[aria-label="search"]) though those only work in english.
