You could open the story in a new tab. There's an option on the settings somewhere to default to that
You could try the browser extension "Old reddit redirect".

Reddit Enhancement Suite still works. One option is to open every link in a new tab.
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.
1. Visit home page. 2. Click link; read. 3. Press "back". 4. The homepage takes 1-5 seconds to reload, messing up your reading position and all stories.
I just want the page to remain exactly as it was the last time I saw it...
