Bug Description
Testing webbrowser-app with oxide 1.20.4 on desktop, dailymotion.com videos don't play (only display a black rectangle in place of the actual video). They do work on mobile devices.
I’m seeing the following in the app's log:
[WARNING:
Vector smash protection is enabled.
So it appears that dailymotion is serving a flash video player instead of an HTML5 video.
A simple UA override appears to do the trick.
