Your years: Set the start and end year; the chart and its source line follow.
Live or still: Embed the live chart, or export it as a post for social media.

Questions

Can I embed the line chart on my site?

Yes. A chart is live and embeddable, and it updates when the data refreshes.

Can I compare countries on one chart?

Yes. Pick several countries and each gets its own labelled line, or split them into a grid.

Is it free?

Yes, to make and edit without an account. Downloading needs a free account.
