A QR code is just regular text encoded in a way that is easier to read by an automated system. Think of it as a special font.
If that text happens to be a URL then whatever scanner you use to read the QR code can pass it on directly to your browser if you have set it up that way.
**EDIT**: But don’t do that. Setting anything to “automatically open any URL” is not very secure.
