Well, yes. But the point of the OP was that there as a new (?) GUI/graphical browser to use on gopher sites. I know about links/lynx,
but was referring to something like firefox/chromium (in a GUI) on
Linux.

Hm, is the point to be able to use the mouse? IIRC those text web browsers started accepting mouse events, so just theme up a terminal with the colors of your gui browser or however you like it, and bam. It's all just text, right?

Well, yes, again... No, the point isn't about using a mouse, and I know
it's all text. It was about the original post specifying that this was
all for Windows, so I wondered about an equivalent for Linux. I mean,
it's all text under Windows, too, right?

What would be the difference between text inside a gui window and text inside a terminal inside a gui window?

I understand the technical difference, but from a usability and aesthetics perspective, you can make them the same.

a terminal client can be used over ssh.

or, possibly, as an external door to Synchronet. (assuming it doesn't have some weird "drop to shell" option)
