You're right, this is futile, because it's trivial to get the
source of the page, no matter what you do at the browser level. The
browser has to see the source to render it, therefore the server is
providing the source, upon request, to anything that knocks at port 80
and asks for it. Getting the source is as simple as telnetting to the
webserver on port 80 and faking the commands. Or run a packet sniffer
in the network you're browsing from. Or run a logging http proxy on
your own machine and point your browser at it.
You can't show something to people and keep it secret at the same
time.
