Watch out for gas fees right now

So I went to do something on ETH and came across this before I was about to approve a transaction.

That is basically an app that alerts you when gas fees get down to a point you're happy with.

Another is https://etherscan.io/gastracker this more than less shows you the current.

The next update can't come soon enough. This is making crypto unusable.
