I need 3 portable browsers to run simultaneously - Recommendation?

1 Firefox Portable - sure deal
1 Iron Portable - sure deal

Chrome portable used to be my 3rd one. Since iron.exe became chrome.exe what is my best bet?

Edit: I was not clear enough. I am familiar with Chrome-like browsers and Firefox. Preferably I do not wish to implement and learn a 3rd one, I would rather use a second profile in either Chrome/Iron or Firefox. I do not necessarily want to delve into editing .ini-s and such, a simple one click solution is preferred which 'just works'.

The question is which one is it?

seconded

Maxthon sounds like a good 3rd option

I haven't used it a lot but from the little I have used it, it seems a decent browser.

QupZilla might be another option, I haven't used it yet (I have added it to my PortableApps) but it looks ok.

PS:

for a non-PA option, I've found Comodo Dragon's portable versions of both Firefox and Chrome to be quite usable - just be careful when installing to to pick the portable option.

As this topic worked out only half way and Comodo Dragon is still controversial according to John; not secure.

Why can't you have three of

Why can't you have three of the same browser running labeled 1, 2, 3 after their name in Program Files?
Opera 1
Opera 2
Opera 3

Please support John Hallers work, I have more than once !

not supposed

you may be new to this site, but running more then one portable browser more then one at a time needs some extra precautions making the browser often non portable by this.
