Thank you for reporting the issue.

Unfortunately, I couldn't replicate the case, so we need to investigate more. More details will be helpful.
This kind of issue can happen if something blocks access to sync servers (antivirus or firewall rule maybe).

First, please try to update to the latest browser version or uninstall/install the latest version.
Also, please check what happens inside secure://sync-internals/.
If sync is enabled, this page should reflect it. On the first, 'About' page please check values for "transport state", "sync feature enable", "auth error", "sync protocol log", "type info".
If you want to share screenshots of that page, please make sure it includes only requested values, not other data, that might be sensitive.

Thank you!

this is what I see

Looks like you haven't signed into your account.
It can't sync if you're not signed in.

I have the exact samme problem.
I have uninstalled all extensions and reinstalled the browser, restarting after each change and STILL get the Service Unavailable Error.
When I click on the Turn on sync button the page flashes and appears to go to another page and immediately back to the home page.
HELP

I click the Sign In button and enter my login yahoo email and password and click Sign in,  I get the same Service Unavailable popup. Any further attempt to sign in immediately shows the popup and the only way I can get the sign in screen back is to do the reset to default settings.

I can sign in to Avast One with the same login credentials, so I know they are valid.

This redirect shows up in my history and will immediately give me the Service Unavailable error.

This is the link that is causing the error. Any attempt to sign in also returns the Service Unavailable error popup.

If I uninstall the application will I loose all my bookmarks and / or passwords.
I have my passwords saved out to a csv file but cannot export bookmarks.

If I Can uninstall and reinstall without loosing my bookmarks and passwords that would probably solve my error.
