Inspect Data "Unfortunately, your browser is not supported."

Question

Hi
When I try to use the "Inspect Data" on a step in PDI, I get the famous "Unfortunately, your browser is not supported." Error.

Anyone that knows how to A) make it use Chrome or B) use the internet Explorer I have installed, but is not default browser.
