Finicky is an application that allows you to set up rules that for which browser is opened for every link. Open Facebook or Twitter in one browser, and Trello or LinkedIn in another. You configure it with Javascript.

I created Finicky because as a web developer it was very hard to keep my private and professional browsing sessions apart. I was using one browser for development use, with extensions for cookie management and similar stuff, and one for my own use where I wanted ad blocking, twitter sessions etc. It was hard to keep the browsers separate when links were all opened in one of them. I couldn't find any free and open source alternatives at that point, so even though I had never made a macOS application I ended up building Finicky. I've been running it for the last 4 years and it's been very helpful. I recently completed a large rewrite of the application with a better configuration format and a more focused feature set and have finally decided to create a stable release.
