Most secure? Probably webkit based (Epiphany) since its engine has been widely used in many projects (including as the basis for chromium) and it has many cool security features like Bubblewrap sanboxing with Flatpak, Heap Arena, GC enhancement, ASLR, DEP, etc.
Here's a Black Hat paper on it.
Most private? Probably hardened Firefox with a couple of extensions (careful, default Firefox is horrible in that regard).
I'm a big fan of ITP in Epiphany (since it uses heuristics and not a set filter like FF) and the devs aren't sponsored by ad companies, but it is really easy to heavily customize FF to make it very private.
I'm also eagerly waiting for GTK 4 so that epiphany can use GPU acceleration in it's UI. Right now Firefox with webrender and vaapi enabled is by far the fastest of them all.
