When it comes to HTML, there are certain standards that all browsers should adhere to. However, in practice, each browser interprets the standards in slightly different ways. This can cause some inconsistency in how pages are displayed across different browsers.
One example of this inconsistency is how browsers handle tables. In particular, there is disagreement over whether or not to automatically close open td and tr tags.
Google follows the principle of "be conservative in what you send, liberal in what you accept." This means that when Google renders a page, it will try to make sense of it even if the HTML is not perfectly formatted. This can sometimes lead to unexpected results, but it usually means that pages will display correctly most of the time.
So, if you're creating a table, you don't need to worry about explicitly closing td and tr tags. Google will figure it out and display the table correctly.
