No: it is significantly less resource intensive than Adblock Plus ("ABP").
Sloppy benchmarks can lead to the myth that µBlock is just a tad less resource intensive than ABP.
Rigorous benchmarks demonstrate that µBlock is significantly more efficient than ABP.
Examples of sloppiness:
- Using memory footprint figures **before** the browser's garbage collector kicks in
- Not taking measures to avoid tainting memory footprint with [Chromium bug 441500](https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=441500)
- Using memory footprint figures while option pages for the extension are opened
- Disregarding the [contributed memory footprint to web pages](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Contributed-memory-usage:-benchmarks-over-time)
- Comparing memory footprint after extensions have run for a significantly different amount of time
