You are not referring to Bridge, but rather you are referring to Camera Raw. Camera Raw changed with version 12.3, and has been updated once since then. The current version is 12.4. If you want to revert to the old interface, the one you are accustomed to and want to have on your computer, then it will be necessary for you to install Camera Raw 12.21. If you use Bridge then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Bridge as well and install a previous version of Bridge from the creative cloud application manager. Be advised that you will then not be able to take advantage of updates for new cameras or new features, and will be stopped from any further enhancements or updates in the future to Camera Raw. The interface has changed, it isn't going to revert to the previous interface. If you want to move forward with Adobe then you would be well advised to learn the new interface. If that is not a viable choice for you then install the previous version and cut yourself off from all future updates. The choice is yours. Here is the link that will enable you to download the previous version.

Hello JimHess, can you tell me what version is working with Camera Raw 12.21? I tried to work with the current Version of CR, for me it is just horrible. 
Thanks for your help!

I would repeat Jim's advice and strongly recommend that you to get used to the new interface. It took me about one day to forget the old ACR was ever there.

 

Don't cut yoursef off from all future developments!

 

There is no reduced functionality, it's all there, and I would argue in a much more logical layout. Most importantly, it is now fully aligned to Lightroom, so it's much easier to jump between them. It has worked in Lightroom for years without any user complaints.
