+# The trouble with the requests library: It ships its own certificate bundle via certifi
+# instead of using the system certificate store, meaning self-signed certificates
+# configured by the user will not work. Some draconian networks block TLS unless a corporate
+# certificate is installed on the system. Additionally, some users install a self signed cert
+# in order to use programs to modify or monitor requests made by programs on the system.
+
+# Finally, certificates expire and need to be updated, or are sometimes revoked. Sometimes
+# certificate authorites go rogue and need to be untrusted. Since we are going through Tor exit nodes,
+# this becomes all the more important. A rogue CA could issue a fake certificate for accounts.google.com, and a
+# malicious exit node could use this to decrypt traffic when logging in and retrieve passwords. Examples:
+# https://www.engadget.com/2015/10/29/google-warns-symantec-over-certificates/
+# https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/12/09/serious-security-google-finds-fake-but-trusted-ssl-certificates-for-its-domains-made-in-france/
+
+# In the requests documentation it says:
+# "Before version 2.16, Requests bundled a set of root CAs that it trusted, sourced from the Mozilla trust store.
+# The certificates were only updated once for each Requests version. When certifi was not installed,
+# this led to extremely out-of-date certificate bundles when using significantly older versions of Requests.
+# For the sake of security we recommend upgrading certifi frequently!"
+# (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ca-certificates)
+
+# Expecting users to remember to manually update certifi on Linux isn't reasonable in my view.
+# On windows, this is even worse since I am distributing all dependencies. This program is not
+# updated frequently, and using requests would lead to outdated certificates. Certificates
+# should be updated with OS updates, instead of thousands of developers of different programs
+# being expected to do this correctly 100% of the time.
+
+# There is hope that this might be fixed eventually:
+# https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2966
+
+# Until then, I will use a mix of urllib3 and urllib.
