Bug description:
  Currently the Youtube webapp fails to play any videos on desktop with
  Oxide 1.4. When I try it, I see messages like this in the console:

  request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

  This is an expected change - Blink now treats XHR as active content
  instead of inactive content, so it gets blocked by the mixed content
  blocker.

  Changing the user agent string to the Chrome one seems to make it work
  again, so this will require a corresponding update to webbrowser-app
  with a user agent string override
