Description

**Describe the bug**

The fee shown on the Swap confirmation page in-app is different from the one listed on the website. In-app shows 0.3% and the website shows 0.875%.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Go to swap between two tokens
2. See the fee displayed
3. Compare it with [the FAQ](https://metamask.io/faqs.html)

**Expected behaviour**

The fee shown should be the same as the what's on the website.

**Screenshots**

In-app:

We find the best price from the top liquidity sources, every time. A fee of 0.3% is automatically factored into this quote.

On the website:

A service fee of 0.875% is automatically factored into each quote, which supports ongoing development to make MetaMask even better.

**Browser details:**

- OS: macOS
- Browser: Firefox 86.0 (64-bit)
- MetaMask Version: 9.0.5

Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy using the listed Swap steps, then compare the fee displayed on the in-app Swap confirmation page with the linked FAQ. Trace where each displayed fee is sourced and update the relevant display so the values agree; done means the confirmation page and website show the same fee.
