Not quite. :)

Arachne is my browser of choice. But there is also Mik's version of Links for DOS, which can be used graphically:
links -g

It is not as versatile, nor as configurable, as Arachne, but it does do graphical surfing as well as text-only.
And it also does SSL.

It's not deep pockets that are needed to make Arachne even better, it is a lack of skilled C coders willing to put some time into her.
