It seems that the width of the table has been set (to 93%). A browser
has to make the columns wide enough to achieve the width. There are no
rules on how browsers should do this when no widths have been set for
the columns (cells), and browsers are known to do this differently.
Even if you set a width for a cell, it's still just "suggested minimum
width".
Perhaps the simplest way to deal with the issue is to remove the
width setting for the table.
