Has anyone else noticed, that a lot of times the notification dot appears, making it look like new mail is in the inbox? Opening the tab makes the dot disappear yet literally nothing changed. It's really annoying.

Im on free tier.

No, these sometimes get triggered when a website reloads for whatever reason (e.g. a version update).

If you want a more reliable sign that there's a new mail enable the favicon counter:
"Settings > Proton Mail > Other > Show unread count in favicon"

    How would that be abusing it? Sounds more like a bug
