I just updated to Android Studio Giraffe 2022.3.1 and the new Logcat mode has been turned on for me. This was off for me in the previous version as I opted out.
Its possible to almost return to the previous format. Open the logcat view, click side button "Configure Logcat Formatting Options", then "Modify views". Now unselect all options (or keep just Timestamp): Timestamp, Tag, Level, Process ID and Package Name.

I despise the new logcat. It prints out so much useless logs that clutters up everything and hides the logs I actually need to debug.
I’m now using the
Timber
library to filter out all the garbage I don’t care to seeimplementation 'com.jakewharton.timber:timber:4.7.1'
Create custom tree class:
Create application class:
Add name to manifest:
And now use
Timber.d("Called")
with a filter in the logcat
