Unless you're browsing HN on Lynx I suspect you'll have at least a graphical browser running, which means you still need some way to manage graphical windows, because that is simply something that tmux does not do.
Also proper WM is unsurprisingly more capable/flexible for window management because it's not limited by a fixed character cell grid and other idiosyncrasies of terminals
I actually use elinks to read HN and many sites, but I also use regularly a web browser.
However, I try to keep web-browsing usage as sparse as possible. I launch firefox from the terminal, browse tho wherever I need, and then close the browser window. I abhor to have a browser "always open".
