When I navigate to the Adobe Flash Player v10.0.22.87 download link I get a "Your platform is not supported" message. What's going on?

The other week I uninstalled Flash. I've had a peaceful browsing experience ever since. No banner ads consuming resources and repeating endlessly. Flash was a dog on my MacBook and I haven't missed it at all.
