We are in a very funny situation where I just spent two weeks fixing FE bugs and there are so many left. I asked to add integration tests but the answer was “no”, cause we can’t test the UI and all of that.

So the proposed solution was to be more careful, except I’m careful but testing whole website parts or the whole website is not feasible. What can I do?

Just add them. You're a developer and automated testing is one of our tools. A woodworker wouldn't ask permission to sand.

This is terrible advice. Communication is the solution.
