Possible to have different sandbox strictly for important web browsing (cc#,bank,work) away from the more sketchy browsing.
Still the loss of private data of whatever data stored in that browser however but limiting any backdoor virus to just that sandbox instead of spread in entire computer system is good thing. There is really nothing to gain by running browsers unsandboxed these days for the additional risks.

I used Sandboxie myself when I still was on W7, I too recommend it.
Back in my days it just had a stupid default setting that would not delete the content of the sandbox once you left it and/or the browser. If you install it (it was easy back then at least), make sure you study the options and understand them, and make sure you have this critical option changed so that the sandbox indeed kills its content when you leave it. That is the purprose of a sandbox - why they make the default setting different is completely beyond me.
