Gentle ping on this bug!

Is there a plan to fix this bug soon? Still hear the word "cell" spoken by TalkBack in the latest dev build of Chrome.

Cannot reproduce it.

BrowserAccessibilityAndroid::GetRoleDescription() returns a string for "cell", we should remove that.

It's possible that you're not hearing "cell" if the table cell is complicated and it's focusing on individual items within a cell. A trivial HTML table should repro this.

Remove TalkBack role description for table cell

TalkBack should just speak the cell data for cells in table.

+a11y-testers, is this the right process for verifying? The bug should be fixed, I used the file at src/content/test/data/accessibility/html/table-simple.html to test this.
