Can you block downloads from a specific website?

Question

Is there any way to block downloads from specific website while still allowing from others?

I have set up blocking all downloads from edge via Intune.

If the block can not be site specific can it be file extension specific?

@Bradley Walker Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For iOS or android devices, we can configure "Blocked URLs" in app configuration policy about Edge.

For windows devices, I didn't find that there is any setting that can block access to specific websites. However, I find that there is a setting "Disable download file type extension-based warnings for specified file types on domains" in Administrative Templates profile. It seems can block download some file types.

Hope it will give you some ideas.
