The RP Flag icon in the statusbar turned red, yet the context menu listed no blocked or allowed sites; however, the context menu also included a note that it "can't" block requests from chrome.

Unknown if RP blocked any requests (as the flag was Red, despite not listing any as allowed) or was allowing all (even though the flag was NOT orange -- or whatever other state is used for allow all from this origin).

Additionally, unknown if RP truly "can't" block requests from chrome, or if this is more accurately "won't" block requests from chrome...

Regardless, this inconsistency is confusing at best.
