Catherine - If you are happy with what you are doing, by all means stick with it. The reason I prefer to have the articles open in an external browser is so that I can quickly enable the reader with Command Shift R if it is available, thus saving me some time trying to find the text of articles in those sometimes very busy news sites. But I have experimented with things to try to duplicate what is happening to you and I guess there are some advantages.
One thing that might solve the issue with getting back to the article list is to be sure not to have more than one article tab open. Once you are done with an article, press Command W to close it and I think you should land in the article list. But that may also depend on the layout.

I have it set to vertical layout but this approach still isn't working - I can arrow up and down the folder list, press right when finding a folder I want, arrow up and down the article list. But then when I press VO j it jumps me back to the folder list, not the html content. Don't know why. But the good news is I found another way which seems to work well. After finding an article I want I press enter. I haven't set it up to open in external browser and it seems when I press enter it opens in a new tab but doesn't select that tab. So I then press command option right arrow which selects the next tab and also puts VO in the html content. When I've finished reading I press command w to close that tab and I land back where I was in the article list. So in case anyone else has trouble perhaps you can try that method as well. Mysterious as to why the first method isn't working for me but never mind.
