The problem is Gmail forces you to switch to the new interface. It doesn't stick with the HTML version, which, no surprise, is superior to the new dumpster fire.

Try the Basic HTML view linked at the bottom of https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049.

It's is web 1.0, but it sticks, and it is fast.

I have tried that, but Gmail forces me back to use the new interface.

You can bookmark the html version. Also whenever main gmail is loading, there is a link to load the html version in the corner.

You can set it as the default and it should save.
