A11y: chrome://settings/clearBrowserData myactivity.google.com link is not accessible

Project Member Reported by dsexton@chromium.org, Aug 2 
Chrome: 69.0.3497.23 (Official Build) dev (64-bit) (cohort: Dev)
NVDA: 2018.2.1
JAWS: 2018

Steps to repro:
# With JAWS or NVDA on, visit chrome://settings/clearBrowserData
# On the basic tab, Tab or shift+tab to the myactivity.google.com. link
# Notice that JAWS and NVDA indicate this is a checkbox

Expected: The link would be outside the checkbox control and the label for the checkbox would be 'Browsing history' with an aria-describedby attribute pointing to the id of the div containing the help text and link 

Actual: Screen reader announces the link as a checkbox

Screen readers don't deal well with links inside check boxes

The myactivity.google.com link is in the tab order, and can be focused just like any normal link (see attachment). It is unfortunate that screen readers don't handle a link within a checkbox.

Not sure how easy would this to fix, given that the primary and secondary labels are part of the current checkbox element the link is embedded to the localized string that is received from C++, see https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/app/settings_strings.grdp?type=cs&q=%22Clears+history+and+auto%22&g=0&l=1165.
