It sounds as if you're asking how to make Safari your default browser. If you're using your iPhone, the only equipment you've listed in your post, Safari is the default browser until you change it to something else. To do that you would need, for example to go to Settings>Chrome>Default Browser App and make it the default browser. Then, and only then, would you see the option under Settings>Safari to change it back to Safari as the default.


If you are using a Mac, what version of Mac OS are you running? If you're running Ventura, the directions are not what you described. See here:
