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), 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.
