Dev channel update to 89.0.774.4 is live

This article makes it sound like History Sync should be available for everyone in Beta, Dev and Canary, is that correct?
None of my Windows systems with Beta seem to be able to enable History Sync still 😞
Also curious if there are any updates on the painful performance for the History and Favorites menus?
History has gotten even worse if anything. 3-4 seconds just to draw the menu on a Core i7 system with 100 meg fiber internet. Painful 😞 This can't be the final design can it?
the favorites flyout on the other hand got so much faster, at least on Edge stable.
I have a suggestion to make History flyout open faster too. so i observed that if history sync is off, history flyout opens in less than 1 second, so the delay is caused by the sync and probably by the fact that history flyout is checking for latest history entries before showing it to the user.
i think history flyout should open quickly in less than 1 second before checking for new entries, it shouldn't keep user waiting, staring at a blank flyout.
and once it's open, then quickly check if there is any updates. and for doing that it should use a large portion of user's Internet bandwidth to do this task as fast as it can.
HotCakeX I don't believe this is limited to the History flyout. The entire app is sluggish and slow. Tab transitions (switching or opening a new one), general opening the app and viewing the default tab screen (Informational View for me), opening settings, collections, etc. are all slow in this dev release. I happen to be running this on a Surface Pro 7 Core i7, and Win10 Dev Channel 21301 build. Edge didn't have this issue prior to these two builds.
