**Description:**  
Currently, adjusting gas settings in MetaMask is cumbersome, unintuitive, and often misleading. It’s unclear how the default gas option is chosen — it sometimes feels like it behaves unpredictably.  
Even as a MetaMask user since 2017, I still find it difficult to quickly set the gas option I want (Market, Aggressive, Website suggestion, or Custom).

**Purpose:**  
Add a dedicated **Gas Settings** section under **Settings** where users can define their **default gas preference** :

- Market

- Aggressive

- Website suggestion

- Advanced (custom)

This will make gas configuration predictable, user-friendly, and efficient, allowing users to maintain consistent transaction behavior without manually changing gas options every time.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. You’re right, currently there is no option for a default gas option.
