What is your browser and browser version?

Firefox Version 85.0 64-bit Intel-Mac

What is broken and where?

If I want to login into stackoverflow I'm unable because I can't fill out the Google Chapta. Is there any way that you enable the chapta's? Because it would be bad if I have to toggle of privacy badger to fill out a rechapta...

It sounds like you've chosen to manually block www.google.com, and our replacement for Google reCAPTCHA doesn't work on the Stack Overflow login page.

Looks like we need to support the "explicit render" scenario: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=onloadCallback&render=explicit.

In the meantime, you could either disable Privacy Badger on Stack Overflow like you wrote, or restore control of www.google.com to Privacy Badger.

Take a look at the warning that is shown when you toggle a yellow (block cookies) slider to red (block entirely). You're gaining a bit more privacy, but you're guaranteed to experience some website breakage. The yellow domains are yellow for a reason; if we thought we could block them without causing too much breakage, we would.
