Default Chromebook

I have never been anything other than Windows but I am looking to buy a cheap laptop that will not be going anywhere and will always have internet access.

It seems to me that a Chromebook would fit the bill, but is there anything I should be wary of in terms of security and compatibility with software/ web sites?

I am fed up with having to buy the latest Windows every few years to stay compatible with websites - I don't think the Chrome OS requires this - am I correct?

Any recommendations on make/model would also be useful.

I am not interested in Apple or any OS that requires a degree in programming.

Thank you
