Web Debugging Proxy to Remove Headers from Incoming Requests

I'm currently using Proxyman on macOS to modify headers on the fly
(namely, remove a few), so bypass Safari restrictions on iOS/MacOS.
However, it's cumbersome to run it on my Mac. I would like something
that I can self-host in my tiny server and just get it done there. In
Proxyman I create some scripts (very easy) that simply hook into
specific domain requests and delete the headers I need.

I found [Privoxy](https://www.privoxy.org/), and it s[eems to do what
I want](https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#SERVER-
HEADER-FILTER), so maybe wondering if anyone would be eager to
recommend. There is also [Tinyproxy](https://tinyproxy.github.io/),
but it can only add headers [not
remove](https://github.com/tinyproxy/tinyproxy/issues/105) them.

Just wondering if there is a defacto proxy that people recommend,
given as a badly implemented one could possibly slow down my network.
