    When I click the button, nothing happens. I've tried in multiple browsers with all extensions disabled.

      You need to have Steam open and Dota 2 client installed.

          Oh, sorry about that. I just assumed that it have to work. When I press 'Watch replay', dota2 starts and is showing 'connecting to dota2 network' for eternity. So yeah, it's broken.

            No, it's not broken. Well, the button isn't anyway. To open a replay from outside of the client, you have to have dota 2 open beforehand, or else it will just open up and show "connecting to dota 2 network".
            Valve's fault, not dotabuff's
