It does much more than just going to the website. You can search google, find a movie with imdb, do math related stuff with wolfram, etc. Thousands of different sites easily accessed / searched / used from a browser directly.
The tab feature in chrome does not bring you to the website. If your search "!imdb hurtlocker" in duckduckgo it will bring up the imdb search result page for the query 'hurtlocker'. In chrome, if you type "imdb.com" + tab + "hurtlocker" it will bring up the exact same page. To be clear, these features aren't similar; there exactly the same. The "tab" feature just does the same thing as the bag feature.
