Some sources suggest that it's https://ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ (where xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx is the public IP address of the machine). But when I navigate there Chrome says This site can’t be reached.

Use the following command to access the public IP address: IMDSv2. [ec2-user ~]$ TOKEN=`curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600"` \ && curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" -v http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4.
You can use EC2 Instance Metadata Query Tool which is a simple bash script that uses curl to query the EC2 instance Metadata from within a running EC2 instance as mentioned in documentation. now run command to get required data.
Just use host command and specify your public IP - it will show you the right URL, e.g.
$ host 52.204.122.132
132.122.204.52.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ec2-52-204-122-132.compute-1.amazonaws.com.
where ec2-52-204-122-132.compute-1.amazonaws.com is your domain.
So you can add https:// in front of it to access the instance via HTTPS.

When you access an URL from any browser, you need to make sure there is a server running on port 80, that is the default port. If you just launched a Linux ec2 instance, it's only accessible through ssh. To access these instances you need de access certificate, generated during the launch process and a ssh client, like ssh for Linux or putty for Windows. Also, if you do have a service running on port 80 or any other, you should make sure these ports are opened in the security policy of your instance.
