Regarding "browse", the MMoS says "To scan Internet
sites or other files, either for a particular item or
for general items of interest". If one is looking for
a particular item, it seems that we could thus say

"browse [location] for [particular item]".

However,

"browse to [particular item]"

seems to be common (judging from search engine hits).

If, for whatever reason, the location can be taken as
understood by the reader, does the latter construction
sound okay to you in the context of technical documentation?
