Archi opens MS IE when Browser.open called, instead of any Chromium based like Edge or Chrome etc

Version of jArchi, Operating System
Archi 5.0.2
JArchi 1.4.0
Windows 10 Enterprise
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0
About
As CoArchi doesn't support history, and Archi doesn't show element's ids, so its hard to use Git's own history.
I'm writing a JArchi script, to open the selected element on Bitbucket web page, to be able to check the history there quickly.
Problem
I have an issue when displaying Bitbucket page, as Archi opens the URL page, but the page doesn't work correctly.
Expected Behaviour
Archi should use an up to date browser (at least MS Edge), or lunch the system default browser (eg. Chrome) to display an url.
Actual Behaviour
Archi uses MS IE that can not handle many web pages like Bitbucket
Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour (with attached test files/script)
Even Github looks quite ugly in IE.
run this:
var browser = Browser.open("https://github.com/archimatetool/archi-scripting-plugin/issues", "my test window");
Did you check the setting in Archi's Preferences to use Edge as the Browser on Windows?
See page 156 of the User Guide https://www.archimatetool.com/downloads/archi/Archi%20User%20Guide.pdf
Thanks for the quick answer!
Unfortunately, I missed the "Use MS Edge" preference in "General" preference tab.
I had only checked the System / WebBrowser settings: that is on "Use external browser" / "Default system web browser" but it still use internal browser, even if I set to Chrome or Edge.
The suggested setting works (but needed to restart Archi to become effective)

The jArchi Browser
only uses the internal browser.
