I think we can make several small wording improvements in the document to update it for 2025. Much of the text dates back 7+ years and it's a testament to its quality it has stood up so well, but I think there are a few things that can be updated to speak more accurately about the current landscape or more strongly based on what we have seen. Specifically:
Strengthening wording to describe fingerprinting as a threat
Mentioning VPNs as a common privacy tool that does not help
Stripping all the mentions of plugins. Kind of a pet peeve of mine - lots of fingerprinting papers talk about plugins being a high source of entropy and that was once the case but is now standardized as a constant.
Mentioning advances in CSS-based fingerprinting
Mentioning the differences between the old school of "I have a fingerprint, it's this hash" and the new school of secret sever-side fuzzy matching you can't inspect
Mentioning User Gesture as a gating factor and providing examples
