Cannot navigate in proxied page

Awesome library.
I just forked the code and set up my own heroku instance, and I removed the Origin header check (that browsers don't send), so that I can test in-browser.
This works. https://sirchester-proxy.herokuapp.com/https://google.com. However, try to search for something, I get:
Invalid host: search
It's not only on google, but generally, when using this proxy, navigation is broken.
This is the wrong tool for your task. CORS Anywhere should only be used for fetching specific requests (possibly from other origins). It is not a generic web proxy. You shouldn't remove the Origin check, as that exists to stop direct browsing of remote content (which is a security issue, because you'd be allowing arbitrary remote content to run code on your origin).
