This means that the title has changed. Chrome used to indicate this with a more subtle effect as described in this question: Pinned tab on Google Chrome has a rippling or highlighting effect

It would also show up in case there is an alert popup.
To view this in action, open 2 tabs. In the first page open console and type:
setTimeout(()=>{alert('hello')},5000);
and press enter.
Then navigate to 2nd tab. After 5 sec, you will see a blue dot on the first tab.
