@severine-eliane Yes, you can have as many browsers as you want. I have several.

@severine-eliane As @leocg noted, you can have multiple different browsers on your system at the same time... in fact, you can usually have several open on-screen at the same time.

However, only one of them can be defined to Windows as "default" at any given time. "Default" means that particular browser will be the one the Windows OS will auto-open when you click on a link in some document, open certain file-types, etc. Browsers like Opera have built-in options to allow you to set themselves as the system "default", though sometimes Windows versions have been known to give users a hard time in setting a browser other than Microsoft's own (currently Edge) as default.
