Some of the GUI elements do come from Firefox though, such as the bookmarking system. Plus, the Webkit engine doesn't really mean anything to most people except less compatibility with some websites (mostly web apps, but Safari's popularity is making this less of an issue). Gecko can be awfully fast as well. K-Meleon with Gecko runs great on low spec computers.
The truly paranoid could just study and compile source code and still get a fully functional working environment (although I doubt it'd be quicker).
However, the best thing to do if you are truly paranoid is simply not use a net connected PC at all. Just live without a network connection and keep your PC reasonably secure in its outside location and you're good.

LFS? Really a lot of Linux distros will do. If Linux or another *nix is too much to understand, there are always smaller OSs like MenuetOS.
