How to Use 2 Browsers on the Same Computer
Most Internet users have a favorite browser for navigating the Internet. Though you may prefer one browser to all others, there are still reasons to use more than one browser on the same computer.

Choose which browser will be your "default" browser (the browser you choose to use as your main Internet browser).
