Public bug reported:

I wanted to see how well webbrowser-app/oxide would do with HTML5
videos, so I went to youtube-- and it did great! Except that going to
youtube and typing stuff into the search gave results for flash videos,
which, of course, we don't (and won't) have the flash plugin. For my
search it was about 90% flash and 10% html5 so I don't think this is a
great experience for our users. Would using a different UA string would
help?
