When using this module and the Browscap module, I see a list of browser-based theme options in the SwitchTheme configuration.

The list is a massive list of browsers.

Can this page be re-organized so you can differentiate those browsers?

For example, I want to see mobile-only browsers.

ah just discovered the Mobile Switch module
http://drupal.org/project/mobile_switch
This will help me right now.

In any case, would still be nice to see separation of browsers in the Browser tab.

Something like:
All - HTML5 - Mobile - PC - Mac

Totally agree with Cablesteins request for some grouping of the browsers in the Browser tab. I don't know which browsers are mobile/small screen and which are desktop/large screen, so don't know which theme to select for each.

I enthusiastically second this request. The list of browsers is completely unmanageable as it is. Particularly since they seem to be in no particular order, and different versions of the same browser often turn up at different points in the list.

Having now done some testing and looked through the list of browsers in more depth, there's a much bigger problem than just the lack of organization: the list of browsers is way, way out of date. It won't switch to the mobile theme when I view the site I'm working on on my phone, although I set it to use that theme for all versions of mobile Safari plus the generic "iPhone" setting - it looks like it basically stopped updating those at iOS 6 (8 is the current version). And when I went to test with a desktop browser just to be sure, I couldn't - because it doesn't support current versions of pretty much any browser at all.

It supports up to version 6 of Safari (even the non-mobile one) - and the current version is 8
It supports up to version 18 of Firefox - and the current version is 37
It supports up to version 25 of Chrome - and the current version is 41

So basically, it doesn't look like this module is a feasible method of identifying browsers or devices at all, except for very old ones. Until such time as this changes, I guess it's time to use something else. :(
