Reducing browser privileges 2005-10-07

Yeah in unix just su to another user before using firefox. I've always had a user account called "webbrowse", because a zeroday sploit in my browser could potentially eat my ~ directory and that'd be bad. So why not sudo to webbrowse and run mozilla through that? What's the worse that can happen...
