Description

I have connected many devices to stf. In every device many browsers are installed, but all browsers are not getting detected. browser I have marked empty boxes where browsers should be present. So please suggest some measures so that all browsers installed in devices can be shown.

Research direction
Investigate how STF currently detects browsers on connected Android devices. Look at the device management module in the source code (likely under lib/ or app/). Check if browser detection relies on a hardcoded list of package names or dynamic enumeration. The issue may be that some browsers are not in the list or that the detection logic fails to identify them. Examine recent commits and any related issues for context. Consider proposing a solution that either expands the list or uses a more generic approach based on app categories.
