    I expect the method for determining the default browser is probably different for each operating system. What operating system are you interested in? Commented Sep 27, 2016 at 18:16

The information is in the windows registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice\Progid. You can read the key with Java.
