We are thinking of getting one of these:
http://www.androidmediabox.nl/android-tv-media-center/
They work with the Kodi webbrowser. All reviews are about how it plays movies and series and such (what we primarily want it for) but what I can't find is: can I just surf the WWW? Would it be possible for example to visit the NELG forum or Facebook? Or search Wikipedia.

Did a little research. It looks like a box that runs off of Android, and it looks like it does include a Chrome app, which would be Internet.
It actually looks like it's an Android box that has a bunch of apps pre-installed (one of which being Kodi)
On a side note, I watched an unboxing video for this that made me cringe, he had the middle priced M85 version.

The way he cut the packaging hurt me
Going back the the first line of my response.
From what I seen in a few videos I watched, it had the Chrome app icon, but none of them actually opened it, so...
To answer your quetion simply, yes, you should be able to use it to just surf the WWW

Plex? Or Kodi?
For Plex, you need a plex server running, which would be on a computer or something.
The app on the TV would then connect to the server on the computer to stream it to your tv
