Yes, you may have more than one. In fact, not only is it acceptable but it is also a good idea to have a backup in case one browser fails or does not have proper functionality. Here are some practical tips to get you started downloading your new web browsers.

There you have it. It is always good to have more than one browser on hand in case one stops working. This way you can still access the Internet. It is also beneficial for shopping around and comparing or copying information from one website to the next. You can also have your email open at all times when you are using the computer to save time.
