MetaMask Swap Fees are INSANE !!!

MetaMask advertises 0.875% fee but in reality it's more like 3-4%. I bridged ETH to Base on a 5-figure swap and lost 3% for no reason. No warning, no breakdown, just less money in my wallet.

I checked the transaction on Etherscan. The quote showed one amount, the execution took another. That's not slippage that's theft.

Is this really the state of DeFi in 2026? How is this acceptable?

Has anyone else been screwed by MetaMask swaps? What are you using instead? Need something that doesn't rob me every time. I'm about to just go back to CEXs if this keeps up.
