The browser ballot is not there on Windows anymore. It was there years ago in Europe.
There was a time where you could install a browser and the browser would ask you if it should be set as default. If you said yes, it would be default. No further steps were needed. It could also be placed in the dock easily, for easy access.
Microsoft has gradually made all of those steps harder... except for them selves. They are set as default when you get the computer and many of us have experienced a Windows update that more or less without asking makes Edge default again.
