- [Added memory footprint to web pages](#added-memory-footprint-to-web-pages)
- [Added CPU overhead to web pages](#added-cpu-overhead-to-web-pages)
By the way, I need to dispel a silly myth given how often it surfaces: [Adblock Edge uses Adblock Plus filtering engine](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/doc/img/abp-abe.png), so it is **not** more efficient than ABP.
### Own memory footprint
These screenshots show the memory footprint of ABP and uBlock _after_ they have gone through this rather [demanding benchmark](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Reference-benchmark). Once the benchmark was completed, I forced the browser to garbage collect the memory in each extension by clicking the trash icon (in dev console) a couple of times -- this is an _important step_, or else the shown memory footprint is not too reliable.
