No one must use only one web browser on a computer he controls. Some browsers do some things better than others. Some browsers do things others can't do at all. I typically have 5 browsers (not browser windows) open, but sometimes more, among them: Pale Moon, Falkon, Chromium, Firefox, besides SeaMonkey, and multiple versions of some, not to mention browser profiles.
Yeah, I am gonna stand with Felix on this one. You may recall that I said earlier that I use Seamonkey for one webpage, and only one (although its future seems to be in question at the moment); the reason is that its settings are well-suited for that particular page. I have practically never used it for anything else. I never used it for email, though.
Limiting oneself to just one browser is like having only one pair of shoes for everything; which, depending on the shoes, depending on what one does in life, might not sound so bad. But what if you had to do everything in a pair of dress shoes that looked good, but didn't really serve your feet so well except for those rare fancy dress-up occasions?
This is maybe not the best metaphor, but you get the idea. I don't wear dress shoes to climb a mountain. I don't wear snowshoes when running to catch a taxi on a crowded city street. I don't wear my steel-toed hiking boots when I take a lady out dancing.
