2. Scroll down to the very very bottom, until a row of icons (Timeline, Following, Maps) appear
3. Click the rightmost icon, Maps, and you will find a list of maps you have opened before
4. Find the Torii map and click into it
5. Click "View map legend" at bottom of screen
6. Click "Close" in upper right

Also not updating the RTO portal won't cause any penalty from what I've heard, and ppl can update the WFH status anytime, e.g. marking their whole month as natural disaster WFH in advance if they really care, which no one really does

Update 2: There's a separate announcement showing some support and asking everyone in LA to WFH, which is omitted in the article

Issue tracker for windows https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=128613...
Author of this patchset described their journey all the way from understanding Chromium's decoding process to testing HDR to SDR tone mapping in their blog post https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/541082191. Too bad it's only available in Chinese though.
