You can't. If a web browser can download and display the HTML, then so can the user.

Even if you found a way to prevent the browser from displaying the source to the user, they could use a tool like Fiddler or WireShark to capture and view the traffic between your server and the browser.

The only thing you can do is redact sensitive data on the server, so that the user can't see it; and make sure your site only uses HTTPS, to prevent eavesdropping on the traffic passing over the network.
