Daniele (ID: 0000002a0d685e89) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/01/2023 I don't like the fact that the gas price updates only if you click on the extension icon, is it possible to always see the current gas price automatically?

zlatan ibra (ID: 0000002f6022e2d4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/23/2023 please add the live gwei number label on the icon of extension like Blocknative extension, so it doesn't need to open the extension to check the gas price, it appears always .
