The "Old Reddit Redirect" extension has been stellar for me to keep it consistently on `old.reddit.com` without performance/reloading issues.

You would have to tell your browser to ignore the no-cache directive that reddit gives.

Or just do what everyone else does: open links in a new tab.

You could open the story in a new tab. There's an option on the settings somewhere to default to that

Reddit Enhancement Suite still works. One option is to open every link in a new tab.

You could try the browser extension "Old reddit redirect".
