I have followed the instructions given under the topic Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers. The instructions are clear. At first I tried the method without internet connection, but then found out I could use my phone for a USB connection.

As far as I an see the method "Special Case #3 - For the 14e4:43a0 rev 03 which is found for example on the Apple MacBook Pro 2013" went well, but I'm testing if I can use my MacBook 2013 for Ubuntu. This means that the reboot I have to do after the installation always comes back in the dual boot choice. I have the feeling that there my installation goes wrong. My question is, can I use this method to test if I can use my MacBook for Ubuntu, or is this method only useful on a complete installation of Ubuntu? If it should be possible, what could I be doing wrong?

Using proprietary drivers (typically for graphics and wifi) works only on installed systems. In a live system (and also in a persistent live system) the drivers are started before anything installed by you is available.

What you can do is installing an Ubuntu system into a USB drive, and then install a proprietary driver (in your case for Broadcom wifi hardware). After reboot it should work.
