Certain websites use the user agent architecture string to determine what download link to show/serve to users on their websites. Having it as x86_64 will cause these websites to give the wrong link.
When it comes to the YouTube playback issue, I think fixing this behavior is a bit of a catch-22 situation. YouTube may not acknowledge the issue if it isn't present in an official build. But fixing the user agent will mean that users suffer from poor YouTube playback resolution until YouTube fixes it.
If you (as a chromium packager at ubuntu) have any contacts at Google or YouTube that you can reach out to I would appreciate if you could do so for this YouTube issue. It has been ongoing for the past few months now and did affect the chromium 110 release right out of the box when that was the latest package from Ubuntu. My (and others) reaching out hasn't yielded any response.
