Anywhere that CategoryChip's or FilterChip's are used, we now wrap them in a common ChipFlowRow. Its job is to ensure the vertical and horizontal spacing is suitable. Chips inside a ChipFlowRow should ideally be set to a height of chipHeight to match other chips. However, there is not a nice way to force this so we politely ask devs to use this constant and set the height. If further padding is required then it should be specified on the ChipFlowRow as per usual. Examples of when this would be valuable would be when indenting a list of categories to separate from other groups of categories.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip.
