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.)
