After I made my previous post you added a source about _ABP_ being a memory hog. Show me a source that uBlock Origin is a memory hog compared to vanilla and ABP.
This article [1] shows how ABP is, indeed, a resource hog, compared to uBlock Origin. It also shows that pages load quicker with uBlock Origin than vanilla. Its an article from 2 years ago though.
This article [2] talks about how in december 2018 uBlock Origin uses WASM for better performance. It includes a link to benchmark the software.
This article [3] from begin 2019 compares the performance of different adblockers (the article is by the authors of Ghostery though therefore I link to the Reddit discussion).
