I would like to add another browser to my Mac. How can I do this? And how can I go back and forth between them?

Download another web browser from its own website and install it per their own instructions or from the App Store app. Options in the App Store app are more limited, but you do get some like the Duck Duck go browser.
To go back and forth, just open either Safari or the other web browser app you downloaded instead.
Secondary web browsers do not in any way replace Safari or make it inaccessible. You just have an additional app you can open if you choose to, from your Dock, Launchpad or Applications folder in Finder.
It's just like adding any app for any other function.
Personally I like Firefox. But other options include Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and many others.
I would as suggested stay away from Chrome and Edge.

I would always recommend having more than one browser on your machine.
This is how you conveniently reach out the world wide web...
If one browser is not working as expected then compare to a different browser, I prefer different rendering engines for this purpose...
Safari—Webkit as its core rendering engine
FireFox—Gecko rendering engine
Any browser you download if you do not like it, then delete it and download a different one.
ex. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/mac/
ex. https://brave.com/download/
ex. https://duckduckgo.com/mac
etc.
Just like any other application, you can have as many applications running at one time as you need within reason...

Work in multiple spaces on Mac
1. Download it from the provider's website; the instructions vary, but often involve opening a dmg file and dragging the program inside to the Applications folder.
2. Launch each normally.

Avoid Chrome or Bing. Consider these instead:
— Brave Browser
— Firefox
