Since you can only run one browser at a time, having additional browsers on your computer will not slow it down. The additional browsers would be like any other program. It will just be some files on your hard drive as long as you are not running it.

In fact you already have two browsers on your computer as it is impossible to remove Internet Explorer from the computer since it is fully integrated into Windows. So you already have two browsers.

The issue you may have with adding additional browsers is that one of those browsers will be set as your default browser. Usually the last one you install. Everything will automatically open in the default browser. Since IE is part of Windows itself, if you have any browser besides IE (including Chrome) as your default browser it can cause some issues. However they would normally only involve issues with web sites. It would not "slow" your computer.

I have IE, Chrome and Firefox all installed, and use Chrome as my default and rarely have any issues. Maybe once a month I will have to open something in IE instead of Chrome (or Firefox).

So yes, you can have multiple browsers on your computer without it slowing things down.
