Custom ad element class name

Hi,

at the moment I’m implementing a simple Anti-Adblock plugin from me into Newspaper WordPress site. It replaces the blocked ads inside the themes classes like “td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_1”. I’ve noticed all of the 5 “custom_ad” classes contain the word “ad” in their class name. These elements are blocked by adblockers while the other ad class (like the one for the sidebar) hasn’t the word “ad” in it.

So my options are either changing the class names inside the /themes/Newspaper/includes/shortcodes/td_block_ad_box.php with a code like this:

        $check_css_name = ['custom_ad_1', 'custom_ad_2', 'custom_ad_3', 'custom_ad_4', 'custom_ad_5'];
        if (in_array($spot_id, $check_css_name)){
        	$spot_id = str_replace("ad", "stealth", $spot_id);
        }

or a theme update which changes the names. I think this would be an easy and convenient change.

It would be nice if you considered it. Thanks in advance.
