Ad blocker blocks form ID

Hi MC4WP team,

Previously, I had been able to prevent ad-blockers from hiding the MC4WP form by replacing the form class with a more generic name, as follows:

/**
 * Replace MC4WP default form class to prevent ad-blocker from hiding the subscribe form.
 * See also https://kb.mc4wp.com/add-css-class-to-form-element/
 */
function my_mc4wp_replace_form_class( $classes ) {
	// Remove MC4WP default class
	$remove_value = 'mc4wp-form';
	if ( ( $key = array_search($remove_value, $classes) ) !== false ) {
		unset( $classes[$key] );
	}

	// Add generic class name
	$classes[] = 'form-latestnews';

	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'mc4wp_form_css_classes', 'my_mc4wp_replace_form_class' );

Unfortunately, ad-blockers have smartened up and are now also recognizing MC4WP by the MC4WP form ID (e.g. mc4wp_form_widget-2 and mc4wp-form-1).

I have found the ‘mc4wp_form_element_attributes’ filter, but this does not seem to allow changing of the form ID.

How can one replace the MC4WP form ID to make it more generic, and thus prevent ad-blockers from hiding the form?
