Hardly. Those using DOS for internet surfing are - I would not insist on "mostly", but still at least many of them - hobbyists. If one has time (time means at least some income / money) for a hobby, then he / she is hardly living dangerously and on the edge.

People on the edge would probably use Linux, FreeBSD, other *nix systems - these systems give you an opportunity to make combinations letting you really reduce your expenses, letting really to make a bypass or realize a scenario when you meet your everyday needs by means of some alternative way. DOS is not ready for this now. FreeDOS people may do that in future, if they are to concentrate on creating an alternative OS for PC, but by now they are at much more modest business of making alternative DOS.
