Probably, although I'm not really qualified to answer. If the mouse cursor still moves in response to the mouse, the best bet is Alt-Break. This is the most relevant suggestion in this context, i.e. NetSurf, because I don't think I have ever observed NetSurf kill the desktop to the point where the mouse cursor stops responding. It's not quite a direct answer to your question, but I hope it steers you towards the best thing to do when using NetSurf and you see the apparently infinite hourglass. (And I hope it also steers you away from something that is known to be bad.)
