Dev channel update to 81.0.381.0 is live
You mentioned that Favorites Sync has been enabled for all Canary and Dev builds, as of a few days ago. I have the Dev version installed on two PC's, yet the Favorites Sync is still disabled and grayed out on both of them.
I've tried removing my profile, and signing back in on both systems. It takes a while for all the [currently] available options to enable again, but the favorites sync remains disabled and grayed out.
Do I need to reinstall? Or is it something that will eventually become enabled on it's own?

I see the same thing with the DEV build where Favourites sync is off and grayed out. I have even uninstalled with removing all data then reinstalled to fix it, but it remains the same.
Is there a trick to turn this ON? It is on in Canary and Beta just fine on my system.

Trick? yes, use a VPN from another country like US as it's common in Microsoft products to enable new features in the US first.
I've tried this trick many times and it works. though you need to restart your browser once or twice for it to take effect. if it still doesn't, clear cookies and site data from here: edge://settings/clearBrowserData
also please have a look at this topic:

We're also working on turning it back on in code, which will work regardless of the feature rollout, but that change took longer and didn't make it in time for this week's Dev build. So, you should just have to wait for another Dev update in order to get your sync working again.
