Can I buy near on MetaMask?

Excuse me, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. I've been looking into purchasing NEAR tokens and I've come across MetaMask as a potential platform. However, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible to buy NEAR on MetaMask directly. Could you tell me if this is indeed the case, and if so, could you walk me through the process briefly? I'd greatly appreciate your help on this matter.
