How do you get (physical) mail?
Yeah, once thing I do for email is use simplelogin, so I basically never give up my real mail to any service.

To my fake name (from family and friends), anything official goes to the mailbox at my real address to which I have access to. But that rarely happens thanks to e-government. Because of presumed delivery, there's no benefit in receiving that kind of mail on paper, so I opted-in.
For e-mail, I use a domain with a catch-all mailbox. I rot13 the service name or whatever in the local-part to identify where the e-mail got leaked/sold from, which I feel like happens more often than not when buying anything from small e-shops.

Btw, for the browser header there's a nice add-on called Chameleon.
I also try to keep my browser's headers more generic, especially the Accept-Language header (not applicable or particulary helpful for US residents, though). The rest (VPN, [and therefore] no Google and no social networks) I wouldn't consider an obfuscation.
