Microsoft has announced that web content filtering has reached general availability and is now available for all Windows enterprise customers.

More info on the full list of block categories and detailed descriptions for each category is available in the official Web content filtering documentation.
Web content filtering is part of Defender for Endpoint's web protection capabilities.
The feature is available on all major web browsers, and it denies attempts to access blocked content via Windows Defender SmartScreen and Network Protection.
