The link from the on demand dialog doesn't actually mention the if_inet6 permission.

I hope this will help my proposal to explain permissions and their implications in situ, in a manner accessible to users without specific Linux/Android development knoweldge.

If you try the latest development version (referenced from one of your other issues), you will see there is decent category help now.

The on demand restricting dialog is designed to display on top of everything, so the browser window being below it is by design.

The function restrictions are for expert users and as an aid I have referenced the relevant documentation. I am not going to add detailed documentation for each of the almost 250 restricted functions, because it is simply too much work and expert users are supposed to known what they are doing.

Since XPrivacy is a community project, you are free to write the function documentation and to do a pull request. The function help is here:

There are a lot of /proc entries, that is why I have referenced the /proc main documentation.
