  "account": "Surfshark has introduced its Black Friday VPN deal for 2026, making it the first among top VPN recommendations to do so. The mid-tier Surfshark One plan is now priced at the same rate as its lower-level Starter plan, offering additional features such as Antivirus, Scam Protection, and dark web monitoring. This discount applies to both 12-month and 24-month plans, with an extra 3 months included for a 15-month and 27-month subscription respectively. The shorter plan provides a greater discount, saving users $9 and $8.10 respectively compared to the standard prices. Currently, monthly subscribers do not receive any discounts. Despite not being the most substantial Black Friday deal Surfshark has offered, this discount still presents a significant savings opportunity for users seeking enhanced online security features at a reduced cost.",
