I think it's been changed.

If you are using Google Chrome, you can easily find plugins such as JSON Formatter that prettifies JSON for you.

Unfortunately, that plugin didn't work as well

If you are using Chrome, try JSONView.

When this happened to me, it was because I didn't have the xdebug extension set up. I was doing some preliminary work using "php -S" and noticed the unformatted dd() output. Switching back yo my usual vagrant setup fixed it.

What do you mean by switching back to your usual vagrant setup? I'm using homestead. Do I have to change some settings or something?

If you have sent any output (ie html headers) then browser wont interpret as JSON...
