To some extent I do this.  When I am forced to use a Web browser
configured insecurely (which for some inexplicable reason always seems
to involve managing my finances), I switch to another VT, log in as my
alter ego, and do what I need to do.  Of course, not even my alter ego
gives a valid e-mail address to the Web browser....
