Set Safari as default browser when clicking on a link in an email

Right now when I click on a link in an email my MacBook Pro opens the window using Chrome instead of Safari. How do I set Safari as the default web browser for links in emails? When I go to the Apple icon then to General and try to select a default web browser from the drop down menu I just get a check mark with no browser options listed.

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15
