Which one works better. Ghostery or Palemoon?

All browsers should work the same.

A browser is just a GUI wrapper around a rendering engine.
The engine converts the HTML/CSS markup into a screen
display.  The browser adds various "features," usually
junk, into the mix.

There are many, many browsers but only a very small number
of rendering engines:

It is the rendering engine where the real difference lies.
Some are better than others in rendering HTML/CSS.

There used to be compliance tests for rendering engines but
HTML/CSS has become so convoluted lately that all such tests
are useless:

Furthermore, very few sites use only HTML/CSS.  Most commercial
sites are overly bloated with ecmascript (i.e. javascipt) which
performs most of the work.

Commercial pressure for more grandiose user "experiences" will
continue to drive HTML/CSS/Ecma into ever more ridiculous levels.

As a result, only huge enterprises like Google will be able
to produce rendering engines and the associated browser.
Before too long, there will only be one browser.  We are almost
there already.
