that maxBrowsePageSize limit is exposed as a destination policyEntry, you can raise it very high and then a browse will be limited by the memory usage limits. the point of the limit is that the messages are dispatched from memory, there is no browser implementations that will query the message store and paginate the messages, it is simply a limited view the head of the queue. Artemis does a better job in allowing a browser to consume the entire queue.
