Does Webfiltering Bypass Firewall Rules?

Hi,
Sophos UTM 9.309-3

Problem: I noticed when I disabled Web Surfing in the Firewallrules that I could still Browse the web. Process of elimination led me to Web Filtering.  

If Web filtering is turned "On" then I can Browse the Web problem free (even if the Firewall rule for Web Browsing is turned off.  I even turned off Masquerading Rule for "Internal -> WAN" and I could still Browse.  If I turn "OFF" Webfiltering then things return to normal. I need to enable the Firewall Rules. Masquerading  etc.

This leads me to believe that Web Filtering Bypasses everything?   What am I missing as I don't believe I changed anything in Web filtering?  

Help/Advice would be much appreciated as I wouldn't think this is normal. 

Cheers
