I understand what Standard Scalar does and what Normalizer does as per the Sci-Kit documentation.
Normalizer - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.preprocessing.Normalizer.html#sklearn.preprocessing.Normalizer
Standard Scaler - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler.html#sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler
I know when Standard Scaler is applied. But in which scenario is Normalizer applied? Are there scenarios where one is preferred over the other?

StandardScaler: It transforms the data in such a manner that it has mean as 0 and standard deviation as 1. In short, it standardizes the data. Standardization is useful for data which has negative values. It arranges the data in normal distribution. It is more useful in classification than regression.
You can read this blog of mine.Normalizer: It squeezes the data between 0 and 1. It performs normalization. Due to the decreased range and magnitude, the gradients in the training process do not explode and you do not get higher values of loss. Is more useful in regression than classification.

The normalizer you have defined in your blog is MinMax scaler. The link which I have put for normalization is different. It makes the l2 norm of each data row equal to 1.

-1: "[standardization] arranges the data in normal distribution." you should clarify what you mean by this. I read this as "standardization transforms data to have the normal distribution", which is not true. You should also explain why standardization is more useful in classification than regression (and vice versa for normalization); I doubt that claim.

They are used for two different purposes.
StandardScaler changes each feature column $f_:,i$ to $$f'_:,i = fracf_:,i - mean(f_:,i)std(f_:,i).$$
Normalizer changes each sample $x_n=(f_n,1,...,f_n,d)$ to $$x'_n = fracx_nsize(x_n),$$ where $size(x_n)$ for
l1norm is $left | x_n right |_1=|f_n,1|+...+|f_n,d|$,l2norm is $left | x_n right |_2=sqrtf^2_n,1+...+f^2_n,d$,maxnorm is $left | x_n right |_infty=maxf_n,d$.
To illustrate the contrast, consider data set $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ which is one dimensional (each data point has one feature),
After applying StandardScaler, data set becomes $-1.41, -0.71, 0. ,0.71, 1.41$.
After applying any type of Normalizer, data set becomes $1., 1., 1., 1., 1.$, since the only feature is divided by itself. So Normalizer has no use for this case. It also has no use when features have different units, e.g. $(height, age, income)$.
As mentioned in this answer, Normalizer is mostly useful for controlling the size of a vector in an iterative process, e.g. a parameter vector during training, to avoid numerical instabilities due to large values.
