Do not need Git Synchronization

I know this is a foolish question. When I do a git compare (Project -> Right click -> Compare with), comparison opens in Synchronization panel instead of Compare window panel.

I am unable to understand git synchronization and thus not able to compare my branches.

I don't want git synchronization window panel. I need a git compare tree panel.

Please Help

The synchronization (since Egit 3.1) is for the difference between the working tree (including not committed changes) and a branch or tag.

As mentioned in "Compare editor and Synchronize View":

If you use any of the submenu actions of Compare With on a single file, a compare editor will be shown, otherwise (since EGit 3.1) the Synchronize View will be opened that lets you browse the changes;
by double-clicking on a changed file in this view, a compare editor will be opened for this file.
In the toolbar of the Synchronize View you can select the Sychronize Model you want to use for presenting the changes you are inspecting.

To get only a compare view, you can also follow the section "Compare working tree with last commit":

The difference between a resource in the current working directory and in the last commit in the current branch can be viewed from the context menu Compare With > HEAD revision.
This feature is also available in the Commit dialog.
Double clicking on an entry in the Commit dialog opens a compare dialog.
