[SOLVED] Any alternatives for sandboxie in linux ?

When I was a windows user I really liked sandboxie which is a windows only application but now that I have moved to linux I want a sandboxie alternative for linux. I want to sandbox all of my applications ( or least the web browser ) so that I can protect myself from malware / phishing attacks and also to compartmentalize all of my internet activities. Using a type 1 hypervisor ( like kvm ) or a type 2 hypervisor ( like virtualbox ) is not an option for me as it is really an overkill and it not worth it. Is there an easier way to do it ?
