Don't want a product after browsing
When we go shopping, it's common that we don't buy the products after taking a look of it. In Cantonese, we would tell the salesperson something like, ' I will continue browsing', which means 'I don't want this and I am leaving or browsing other products in the shop.
What would you say to salespeople in English in order to show that you're not interested and to be excused?And also, in cantonese, the salesperson may reply 'choose/browse slowly' to indicate ok/ it's ok/ you are welcome. What would you usually say in English?

Hi,
I think it would sound quite impolite to say something like "I am not interested, thank you". I am used to say "I'm just having a look, thank you" and smile. "I'm just looking around" would sound polite enough, whether you do not forget the thank you. Basically, these two sentences mean the same as "I am not interested in the product I am looking at", on semantic level.
Cheers
EDIT
The salesperson may say "You are welcome", "Feel free to ask", or just "Cheers".
