If right-click is disabled, Ctrl+U still opens the source on most desktop browsers, or you can type view-source: in front of the address. But if you're looking for text you can see on the page and it isn't in there, that's because the site builds it with javascript after loading. View source only shows the original HTML. Hit F12 and look at the Elements tab instead, that's the page as it actually rendered. On a phone none of this really works, use a laptop.
