Online Gantt chart service

Could anyone recommend an online Gantt chart service that enables relatively hassle-free setup and monitoring of projects?
My focus is not on producing a pretty Gantt chart for presentation purposes (for which I already have offline software) but for the practical day-to-day monitoring of multiple concurrent tasks and/or projects that run over the course of 2 years but vary in duration from a day to several months.
Also, I would like to be able to have a direct URL to the Gantt chart itself, so I can set the webpage to open automatically in its own tab in Chrome.
In the past I just created my own Gantt chart in Google Sheets for this, but the process to create and manually update is a bit laborious.
I could consider Google Sheet add-ons or other Chrome extensions, but the current offerings just seem to give too much access in terms of privacy to the makers of those add-ons, who tend to be private individuals or very small outfits.
The ability to export as PDF or Excel would be a bonus.
I don’t mind paying a subscription fee for some truly excellent implementation, as I would use this every day.
It can be part of some broader project management service, but I only have the need for the Gantt chart, really.
I don’t need to share it with any team, only to have access from Chrome from my various devices (mainly a windows laptop and a couple of Chromebooks).
Thanks.

Thanks, Alexander. Looks interesting. But for now I’m focusing on services that have a free option, as my needs are very basic.
I have only just done an initial search, haven’t tried them out yet, but here’s what I found so far, in case anyone had any experience with these:

I just remembered that Redbooth offers some type of Gantt chart with their program. If you have not yet found anything that meets your needs, you may want to check it out.
