No it doesn't. Last time I checked, µBlock has a larger memory footprint than both
[Ghostery](https://www.ghostery.com) and [Disconnect](/disconnectme/disconnect). That's for their own memory footprint. I didn't look into their contributions to the memory footprint added to each web page.
Regarding CPU footprint, I don't know, I didn't measure yet (maybe
I will). Keep in mind that µBlock, like ABP, Adguard, and some others allows users
to enter their own filters.
Regarding CPU footprint, I don't know, I didn't measure yet (maybe I will), but my hunch at this point is that the CPU overhead is higher than that of µBlock. I did run CPU benchmark a very long time ago, and this was the case -- but after such a long time, I have to assume things have changed and I would need to benchmark again -- a time-consuming task.
Keep in mind that µBlock, like ABP, Adguard, and some others allows users to enter their own filters, something not possible with Ghostery or Disconnect.
There are also other differences, or similarities: µBlock, _Disconnect_
and ABP are licensed under [GPL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License). Also, there is [this](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/%C2%B5Block-and-others:-Blocking-ads,-trackers,-malwares).
