Well, that's the app that will open .html files. In my case as I edit html
files a lot, I get "com.barebones.bbedit". Yet InternetExplorer still acts
as the default browser

I think what you're actually after is the nested key "helper:http" in
com.apple.internetconfig. How you get it and use it I haven't the
faintest...
