Hey, I'm having a similar issue except for me it's my first time installing Web Filtering through M365 Defender to a customer and i had told them this would work. I then tested and none of the categories, such as adult content were being blocked.
Can anyone tell me if this should block those categories in 3rd party browsers if network protection is setup? should it block all of the same categories that smartscreen in edge can block with this?

if you run get-mpcomputerstatus check if you have AMProductVersion of 4.18.23050.5 (or later for those stumbling across this down the line).
if you have that version and not 4.18.23050.# (#<5) then yes it will block custom URLs and categories just the same as via edge and better than third-party proxy agents

Thanks for your reply mate, I just used that exact command to determine if it was worth remoting on to remove the manually added AppLocker policy had had put in place as a work around temporarily and test, which I did and it works now with 4.18.23050.5.
