That was my initial setup. I had a banking VM, a shopping VM and a
"untrusted web" VM. First I got rid of the "untrusted web" VM in favor
of just doing all non-logged-in browsing in a disposable VM.

Soon I realized that keeping the firewall configuration of the
shopping VM working was a constant battle ... so I got rid of it too.
Instead I am using a disposable VM instance, the additional step of
logging in isn't that painful (KeepassX in the vault VM and Qubes
Copy&Paste support).

Finally I didn't see the point in a dedicated banking VM anymore and
started using a disposable VM for that too.

Looking at my domains now, I have only one that is online and with
firewall rules (email). All others are offline (dev, office, vault).
All web browsing happens in a disposable VM.

I am pretty happy with that and are under the impression that this is
probably the safest I can get. Obviously this is only safe /
compartmentalized if one opens a new disposable VM for each
destination, which is reasonably fast on my machine.
