I use extview.el 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/extview.el
I also use this simple code to open an html file in dired with w3m:

,----
| ;; Browse html file with w3m in dired
| (defun tv-find-file-as-url ()
|   (interactive)
|   (w3m-find-file (expand-file-name (thing-at-point 'filename))))
|   
| (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "F") 'tv-find-file-as-url)
`----

but there is other tools may be better:
