PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

There's https://invent.kde.org/danagost/Kiview
Don't know how well it works but you could give it a try
This looks like a good project, but afaik makes no sense at all.
I am not sure if this uses QtWebengine but think it doesnt and uses Chromium/Electron instead.
This means it is not fast and really no big improvement.
Meanwhile Plasma Dolphin absolutely has a system to preview videos, images, pdfs, text- even office files (Libreoffice format). This means previews should totally work, with very little delay.
KiView is not that.
It's not electron, it's a WebEngineView, see the VideoViewerUi_alt.qml file for example.
But you're right about dolphin. It does support preview and they're enough for me. However, I saw people for whom this was not enough, and IIRC that's the reason behind the creation of this project.
Okay this makes it way better.
But still I guess it would be better if the native Dolphin thing could be extended, instead of some different javascript stuff that simply runs on the Chromium-based webengine that the DE also uses.
Yes, I agree on that. I supposed it's more difficult to do than it seems
I'm trying it right now, thanks.
