Red ought to do it, but heads up, full blocking of "accounts.google.com" will break some login pages entirely. That's why we have it set to yellow by default.
Good domain to fully block if you're comfortable using the "Disable for this site" button when something goes wrong.

Safari for iOS lacks certain extension capabilities needed by Privacy Badger, but we should figure something out eventually.
As far as other iOS browsers, you could try installing the Orion browser and adding Privacy Badger there.

uBO and PB are different and complimentary tools. PB does not use ad blocker lists, fights for a better web, comes with own features (click-to-replace widgets).

By the way, if you don't use Firefox, and your Privacy Badger is on version 2025.9.2, that's probably the problem. Updating to 2025.9.5 will fix a bunch of inadvertently broken sites.
To update in Chrome/Edge, visit the Manage Extensions page, enable "Developer mode" and click the "Update" button.

If you're asking about Safari on macOS, we're waiting on bug fixes from Apple before we can proceed.
Otherwise, we're available on Firefox, Chrome and Edge. Visit privacybadger.org to see if your browser is supported.

Brave has a built-in ad blocker as well as anti-fingerprinting countermeasures. Privacy Badger is not ad blocker and works well in combination with ad blockers. You're fine with or without PB. Do you like what PB does and want to join our fight for a better web? privacybadger.org#How-is-Priva...

You could disable Privacy Badger on those sites. You'll still be protected everywhere else. Or, you could install uBlock Origin Lite and it will bypass the anti-ad blocker wall.
As you may know, PB is not an ad blocker. We would like to do something about these privacy-hostile walls in the future.
