From the paper:

In the paper, we propose a (cross-)browser fingerprinting based on many novel OS and hardware level features, e.g., these from graphics card, CPU, audio stack, and installed writing scripts. Specifically, because many of such OS and hardware level functions are exposed to JavaScript via browser APIs, we can extract features when asking the browser to perform certain tasks through these APIs.

One more reason why my motto is "NoScript is your friend."

Sonar gear has long been able to distinguish between boats of the same designation.
