Public bug reported:

Embedded youtube videos, like this:

or this:
http://pages.ebay.com/shoptheworld/

do not play back correctly. They exhibit stuttering and stopping, with
oxide-renderer process using over 100% CPU.

This was worked around on YouTube.com (and webapp) by using overriden UA
string which makes YouTube send us a stream that we can playback
smoothly. But this UA string is not presented to embedded videos within
other sites.

We should figure out how we can send the UA override to embedded videos
(if possible), and if not what change could we make to our default UA
string such that YouTube gives us content that we can render more
efficiently.

Other ideas?
