Together they’re basically just a UI ‘easy to use’ alternative to direct adb via terminal.
Canta displays a list of all apps on the phone system conveniently marked with recommendations for removal - e.g. Recommended | Unsafe | System | Advanced | Expert
I know it’s more work to setup however for ease of use after that I like it. There are lists available (on Github for example) of apps that have been installed on most phone models and I would use these lists anyway if I was using adb+terminal. Now using Canta IT checks the lists, and provides me a visual interface to the apps that are installed on my phone, compared to the compiled lists, and then marks them … then it lets me remove or not as I see fit.
In summary, it’s seems to be a nice(?kind of) UI to adb designed for ease of use.
I need to look at Canta. 4 years now with Sony device treated to some adb slimming plus RethinkDNS & firewall. Tempted by Libre OS or Fairphone 6. Can’t quite afford Pixel with GOS. Food for thought.
Can you no longer simply uninstall system apps using adb, or is this just an alternative method?

So Canta (https://github.com/samolego/Canta) is the app that uninstalls and Shizuku (https://shizuku.rikka.app/) is the app that allows Canta to access the system.

It runs a wifi adb to connect the device to itself.
