There might be a confusion about the meaning of browseable in that context:

       browseable (S)

           This controls whether this share is seen in the list of available shares in a net view and in
           the browse list.

           Default: browseable = yes

So a share that isn't browseable would not show up in the list of shares
on the server. So you can't browse the share in the list of shares.
But if you do have the share name you can still use browse the files and
directories within that share. And that's ok.

With kind regards,
