Black Friday in past years
What each developer offered during Black Friday week in 2023–2025, from archived copies of its home page (Wayback Machine, about one a week) and, from 2026, its newsletters: its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale, or, marked "running then", another sale on during that week. Each cell links to the copy it was read from (for a newsletter, the developer's site). Days are when a copy or an email showed the sale, so it may have started earlier and ended later. This is what happened before, not a forecast.
Expect mistakes. The banners were read automatically, by AI, from copies made about once a week, so:
- a short sale, or one between two copies, can be missing;
- a banner left on the page after a sale ended can look like a sale still running;
- the discount is the deepest the banner mentions ("up to"), not what most products got;
- a sale marked "running then" is matched to Black Friday by its dates, not its name.
Check the linked copy before relying on a cell, and tell us if one is wrong.
95 developers. "–": none seen. The developer may not have run one, or no copy caught it.
