The errors I saw were from apt not any browser:

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.

This was due to mirror.whonix.de redirecting all URLs to https.

It appears I assumed that www.whonix.org would redirect too rather than
actually checking if it did.

Please leave the default for the census page to http/https for now.
