Hell, I torrented "The Man in the High Castle" even though I have Amazon Prime just because I didn't feel like installing Silverlight.

Doesn't Amazon use Flash?

They were using Silverlight on the web. They had Flash at one time, but I think it's been a while; they've been using Silverlight for a few years. They've been pushing into HTML5 video, though I don't know the current state of that rollout

Not sure if this is true for all vidoes, but I have watched several shows on Amazon using Chromium, and I don't have Flash installed.
