As far as I understand, you are asking about Web browsers running on your local host, detected by the code on the same host. It does not make any sense at all. "Running" means having a browser process at the moment. The user can run none, one, two or more browser at a time. There are no limitations on that. Besides, if you look at the processes, and one is named like a browser, nothing guarantees it is really a browser, it could be a coincidence. Likewise, some process could actually be a browser you don't know. Again, it does not make sense at all.
