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

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

Furthermore, very few sites use only HTML/CSS.  Most commercial

Free hint, dumbass, your joke browsers suck.  I just rented a movie,
one I'd seen several times before, including new in a theater in 1998,
but an old favorite, one relevant to my life these days, "The Truman
Show" starring Jim Carrey.  Would be trivial to boot up my Fire TV
device, and stream it to my TV, but slight drawback there, the audio
would be through my TV's relatively lo-fi speakers.  By opening a
Chrome window for Amazon Prime Video, dragging it across to my TV as a
second monitor, and letting the audio flow into my computer speakers
and subsequently into my headphones, I get a real "theater"
experience, in my chair in my room.
