I've been seeing this as well.

All guides I could find out there says to click on the user icon to log
in but I do not get that option.

A slight annoyance since sharing history and saved credentials across
devices is a nice-to-have feature.

Sync is now only allowed for Google builds of Chrome, not third party 
Chromium builds.

Is anyone seeing the same? How do you log into
your Google Account in Chrome?

(I can even be logged into my Google account on the Google
account webpage that Crhome is displaying, but from Chrome's
point of view, I am still "Not signed in".)

I may be wrong, but I believe Google recently decided to only allow
access to the Google Sync API from their official Chrome builds and not
from Chromium.
