confirming that reverting the UA string to old version fixes the
stuttering when using youtube webapp or visiting youtube in browser.

But it doesn't fix problem where pages have embedded youtube videos, like this:

These still exhibit the problem even with the youtube specific UA string

Title:
  YouTube videos stuttering and not playing back smoothly

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  New
Status in Oxide Webview:
  Invalid
Status in Web Browser App:
  In Progress
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  rtm build 224 on krillin
  on fast wifi connection

  - Go to videos scope
  - Choose the first YouTube video
  - Play it in YouTube and maximize the screen

  Expected results:
  - The video should play back smoothly

  Actual results:
  - The video pauses frequently and stutters
  - The progress bar shows it's not a buffering issue as most of the video has been downloaded already

  This is new. Wondering if it could be related to the YouTube user-
  agent string

  Note: oxide-renderer process is using 180% CPU according to top when
  the video is being played back
