with all the drama around DEX aggregators, I've seen a LOT of people get this wrong
even relatively smart people (even my cofounder who I totally did not have to put on here, but I would like to embarrass him anyway for no reason here)
when you are comparing swaps across DEXes, you can NOT use the quote shown on the UI as a reliable signal
this is a mere estimation, and it varies depending on a shit ton of factors, including liquidity, staleness, RPCs, and even the API version
the ONLY way to compare is to actually do the swap and then see what price you got onchain
and the only way to compare across providers is to do this simultaneously for all of them using their APIs, which obviously no retail user will do
but again, the number shown on the UI (in this case Uniswap for illustration), is only an estimate and you can not use it to say that one team is better than the other
