How can I open a link in chrome and take the same link and it works with safari or opera or any other browser?

In addition to what others say, an internet browser does not directly send you to a website. It first sends your request to what is called a DNS (Domain Name System) server. The DNS is basically a giant list that pairs “normal” website names (ex. “google.com” or “en.wikipedia.org”) with the IP addresses of the computers that hold those websites.
The DNS server receives the link, then returns the IP address, which your computer then connects to. DNS servers are not owned by browser manufacturers, so every browser has to adjust to their way of doing things if they want to function properly as browsers.
