[ANDROID] Has anyone gotten Shizuku + Blocker to actually do anything? (lemmy.ca)

I came across Shizuku as a root alternative, and while it's been great at freezing apps, I want to disable certain receivers, services, and SDKs from apps.

Blocker is supposed to do this, but even with Shizuku permission, it does nothing when I try to disable any app components.

Does this actually work, or is root required? If root is needed, are there any alternatives that work with Shizuku?

It's not permissions that I want to block/stop, but actual receivers, services, SDKs... components within apps. So, something like the analytics services can be disabled, rather than "blocked" like using an adblocker.

I used to do this when I was rooted years ago, and it was great!
