"I browsed the newspaper"

I browsed through the newspaper.

I browsed the newspaper.

Hi PBF, does it bother you if I add something to your question? , apart from "browse through". I think they're all supposed to mean the same, but some are probably much more common than others.

Hi PBF,
does it bother you if I add something to your question? I think it would be interesting to know if there is any difference beween "flip through", "leaf through", "skim through", etc., apart from "browse through".

Ah, ok GG, I'll consider them practically synonyms. I like "flip through" the most, anyway.
Thanks Emotion: smile
