Exodus only analysis what's on your phone and does not even check the apps itself but relies on their app database, so this is pretty pointless if you want to deactivate trackers. That's what I use AppManager for these days.
You can use duck duck go browser. There is an option in it to block trackers in the browser and your apps all at once 😉

Not necessarily. Shizuku is definitely not a virus or malware. It is being implemented by many apps in order to make it easier to grant special permissions to other apps without rooting your device.

So it's not that simple after all. A fast search would have answered your question about the purpose of said app, without posting false claims (a question mark might have changed that premise 😉)
So shizuku same like adb for grant some permission some how?
and App warden “same” track control, app manager?

    Warden

    Disclaimer:
    Code:
    Warden uses root permission to enable/disable components & de-bloat.
    Use at your own risk!

    Features:

    1. Detects Trackers & Loggers across whole device
    2. Allows to disable all trackers/loggers
    3. Advance profile based app de-bloater

    How does it work?

    Warden has a static curated list of known trackers (Exodus Privacy) , each app's dex file is read to retrieve the class names, these class names are then matched with the signatures of known trackers & loggers to find them.

    A list of currently known trackers & loggers can be found here & here

    Loggers in the context of Warden means all utilities which are used to log user activity on an app or logcat in general. Not all loggers are evil.
    But few logging tools like ACRA, xLog are very powerful tools that can send user data to devs without user's consent.
    So do read the app's Privacy Policy, beforehand.

    De-Bloater (Requires Root)
    Warden provides a profile based de-bloater where a profile is created in a format specified as in this sample scripts
    You need to place this profile/your custom profile at `ExternalStorage/Warden/Profiles` to make them appear in app.

    De-Bloater is an experimental feature, will improve it over time.
    Default action for debloating is 'disable' you can configure it to 'uninstall' or 'hide' from settings.

    Nuke it! (Requires Root)
    Nuke it! is another experimental feature that scans all apps on the device and disables all know tracker components automatically.
    It also gives an option to export components names per-app basis.

    Components here means: Activities, Services, Providers & Receivers
    Warden uses `su pm` to manage the components.

    How do I see if Nuke It was successful?
    Some apps still show trackers enabled after running it.

    As of now, you can only get results by manually checking the component status of each app.
    Although the app has the data you seek, but is missing UI for it.
    I will add it soon.

    Enjoy

    Has been my very honest pleasure...

    I assumed that Gitlab is the preferred way, just wanted to ask. I've opened two tickets in Gitlab with feature requests but I'd like to share them also here to allow the XDA community (and especially those who don't want to have a Gitlab account) to discuss my suggestions.

    Feature Request: Automatic Opening of Warden when a new app is installed or an installed one updated.
    (screenshots only attached to the Gitlab ticket)

    Feature Request: Backup & Restore

    I appreciate every comment but even more if @WhyOrean is at least considering their implementation.

    Hey there, I have added the above 2 requests to my TODO list, will try my best to include them in upcoming builds.
