There are a few key additional things you should test, since it appears most sites aren't testing properly:

  • Access via Web proxy. Many sites fail in this configuration.
  • Standard blocking plugins for blocking (like uBlock) and privacy (like Privacy Badger)
  • Access via a IPv6->IPv4 tunnel. Maybe harder to setup, but I've noticed some sites are failing this as well.

Opt for manual testing over automated testing of the UI itself. Not related to web, but I talk a bit about this in this article.

This implies making the UI as thin as possible and testing the API thoroughly. The thinner the UI layer then cheaper the testing becomes.
