Question/ problem with pop peeper and browser

Whenever I need to open a browser from pop peeper, it opens a chrome browser, even though that is not my default browser, nor do I want it to be used.

Shortcuts of any URL on my desktop, are opened as expected, using the default browser.

Examples for when chromium is used are:
* oauth2 setting on an email account
* clicking a link from within an email message.

I do not have chromium installed, I only have a portable setting on some folder (using chromium with chrlauncher)

How can I stop this?

Thanks.

Pop peeper version: 5.5.3
OS: Windows 10

From PP main menu, go to Tools/PPTweaker/Misc 2 - look for the areas of settings page circled in red:
Use Windows (external) Default browser
Use Windows (external) Default browser
Have you got the setting as illustrated in the screen-shot (above - to open links using your "external browser")? If not then check the option as illustrated in the screen-shot to see if you get the results you want (leaving the "Browser to launch URL's" blank in this case to use your "default" browser).

Alternatively you can enter the actual URL of the (installed) browser you want PP to use by clicking on the ellipse box to find and enter the browsers path location (see example below):
Direct PP to use installed browser of choice
Direct PP to use installed browser of choice
Let us know if this helps.

Thank you!
I completely forgot I put anything in that option.
Now fixed, and all is good.
