Description

If you're using proxies with requests-html and rendering JS sites is all good. Once you render a website pyppeteer don't know about this proxies and will expose your IP. This is an undesired behavior when scraping with proxies.

The idea is that whenever someone passes in proxies to the session object or any method call, make pyppeteer also use these proxies. #265
