Research direction

No implementation files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating how the project selects or presents the certificate chain, then review the linked Let's Encrypt and Certbot guidance; done should allow users to choose the alternative DST Root X3 chain where supported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

LE is going to switch the default certificate chain to its own ISRG Root X1 in January 2021, but still offers an alternative chain to the DST Root X3. Users might want to use that since the DST Root is more widely trusted. See certbot instructions here.
