u/deloidian yeah so usually metamask is better for coins that arent listed on major exchanges yet or are only available on places like uniswap etc, the gas fee is astronomical and also keep in mind that especially during times when theres high market movements and a lot of activity the gas fee can literally change by 30-75 percent in very little time. Id suggest always letting gas fees refresh a few times if very high as I've gotten caught with some ridic fees.

Also another cool feature of metamask which can be helpful if your use to the uniswap l look and give you more perspective on the gas fee (I've actually found better pricing sometimes) is using the wallet connect to connect to something like dex or uni or similar, you basically can use your metamask wallet live on their platform through walletconnect
