A recommended customization in browse-url.el
(supposing your browser-function is eww):

;;	(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
;;		  (lambda ()
;;	             (local-set-key "\C-c\C-zf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file)))

However, "v" would be shorter indeed when generalized to view files
using mailcap to rely on their MIME types (e.g. eww for text/html, etc.)
