The badge on the alert icon shows a number one less than the total number of starred alerts. If I have 2 new alerts, it shows 1; if 12 new, 11.

I'm not sure why this is, it's not that one of the alerts just came in, both are about 5 mins old.

EDIT: I should clarify slightly, it happens ~60% of the time, not every time. Refreshing the page I'm on doesn't update the count.

Just now had five on the alerts badge, but only four actual alerts. My clock isn't desynced from the actual time, and the page is fresh. I could understand if I had left the page open for a couple days, but on a newish page it makes less sense. I saw the alert count go from one when I opened the tab to five when finished reading. So the number is updating but has the wrong count sometimes.
