Just tried the following UA override on my arale:

  ["^https?:\/\/(www\.)?vip\.de\/", "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0;)
AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Mobile Safari/537.36"]

and I’m getting a much more mobile-friendly version of the website, and
videos embedded in articles play (and they don’t overlap with text
content).

This seems to indicate that vip.de does user-agent sniffing to decide
what content to serve, and the content they serve for our default UA
string is badly laid out.

Title:
  layout messed up for vip.de

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not 100% sure if this is an issue in our browser but after a chat
  on IRC we decided to log a bug and investigate at least:

  Go to vip.de and open a random article. You'll find a box for an
  embedded video. That box doesn't show a video (perhaps something we
  could support?) but instead just displays a text saying that video
  playback is not supported on this browser/platform. That's one issue,
  but leaving that aside, the much bigger issue is that this box is
  actually bigger than it should be (or the container around it smaller
  than it should be) and it happens that this box is covering parts of
  the article's text. This causes the browser to even be of no use for
  just reading the text on this page.
