Labelbox is optimized for Google Chrome

We recommend using Google Chrome as your web browser when you are using Labelbox. Our team optimizes and runs all of our tests on Google Chrome. While Labelbox will work on other web browsers, we do not recommend using Labelbox on Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Microsoft Edge.

If you are using a web browser other than Google Chrome and you encounter a bug, we may not be able to support you at this time. Labelbox is optimized for use on Google Chrome only.

Dark mode

You can choose to adopt a system-wide light or dark appearance. The dark appearance, known as dark mode, implements an interface style that reduces eye strain. You can choose to toggle the interface from light mode to dark mode at any time.

You can enable dark mode by clicking this icon in the left nav bar.

All parts of our platform support both light and dark interface styles. We recommend using dark mode when using our editor to reduce eye strain.
