I'd like to see rules settings, so I specify that company.com gets always opened in the Firefox work profile without asking.

Thank you @cweiske ! That is actually in my mind to implement. I just have to get Libhandy and some UI stuff down first.

How do you plan to store the this-domain-opens-that-browser rules? I'd like to build a patch that allows me to edit some kind of plain text file until the config dialog is ready, and I'd like to follow your file format preference.

I checked if GSettings could be used for the dynamic domain-browser settings. One could use the "list-of" schema attribute, but there seems to be no examples anywhere on the net. I got the impression that this does not seem to be the best/preferred way to store many configuration options.

Using a{ss} seems to be the way to go: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/storing-dynamic-data-in-gsettings/5404

I'd pay 30€ for the configure-browser-per-domain feature, so that I don't always have to choose the browser.

I've added a usable implementation in my fork. Currently you have to define the mappings manually via dconf-editor, but it does work. See the commit message for an explanation. I'll keep the bounty myself then.
