Edge JSON Viewer

I have been using Edge to view JSON data since I hate the layout of using Pretty-print. For some reason randomly now, when I view JSON in edge, I am getting Pretty-print instead of Edge's default custom JSON viewer. I don't think I did anything, I just randomly opened a JSON file with edge and now am getting Pretty-print viewer which I hate. Any suggestions on how to get Edge's json viewer back?

    Nice of you to respond 2 months later. The rollback process doesn't work. The next update that gets pushed will update Edge anyway. Been through that twice already.

    This thread should be closed now. Solution: JSON Formatter Plus from the Microsoft Store, or switch to FireFox.

    Are you saying that this is an intentional change? I had assumed it was a bug but we are now two versions up and we still have this garbage viewer. The old was one was SO good as a developer that works with JSON everyday. **** is M$ thinking?

    I installed now the JsonViewer extension for Edge and this extension is working.
    It is at least better than the default pretty print.
