They already acknowledged (the Edge team) via Email response that they are aware and are working on the sync problem. I'm using Chrome Canary 79 for now and it's very stable as always.

Thank you both for the replies. On my work PC, I tried Edge beta and it appeared that it is a bit better performance wise.
Nevertheless, I switched to Dev and still my Favs are not syncing 😞

You need to go to the install location of Edge insider beta and dev and then delete the "userdata" folder. there might be other places where Edge leftovers might reside but usually deleting "userdata" folder will fix the problem.
depending on Beta and Dev, the location might be different. for canary it's here:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS
Enter this in your address bar: edge://version/and then look for this: Profile path
it will show you the location
you can also use the details tab of the task manager to find the location of Edge process.
