Role such as tabpanel, timer, alert, etc. are marked as widgets but they shouldn't be. This problem is contributing to #4360 as each example uses a tabpanel with many overlapping child nodes.

We'll need to investigate the ramifications of changing these to their correct types before we make the change.

An example where this is creating a false positive is on https://www.hep.ca/horse-insurance/. The close button the cookie banner is 15x15. Axe is failing this for being too close to the to the cookie banner, which has tabindex=0 and role=alert.

Just as a note, the description I believe is slightly inaccurate as tabpanel does belong to the widget abstract role https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#widget_roles There were intentional variations from spec, I learned

I'm playing with getting everything synced to the spec now to see where that gets us

Too many aria roles were set to widget or otherwise were incorrect, added a comment source for where I got my information for which abstract roles were the type of which roles
