本研究通过访谈Kahf浏览器用户，揭示宗教身份驱动采用但非持续使用，提出多孔数字隔离模型，为信仰对齐技术提供设计建议。
AI 中文摘要
宗教品牌平台在围绕特定信仰构建技术时，提出了关于信任、可用性和自主性的重要问题。先前关于伊斯兰教和穆斯林技术的人机交互研究集中于祈祷、经文和健康应用等单一用途工具，而忽略了像浏览器这类塑造用户与互联网关系的基础设施。我们通过对16名Kahf浏览器用户进行半结构化访谈来填补这一空白，Kahf浏览器是一款旨在支持穆斯林在线活动的信仰对齐浏览器。研究结果显示，宗教身份促使了采用，但并未维持使用。信任并非由宗教品牌固定，而是随着时间推移基于浏览器功能而变化，且用户对穆斯林构建的基础设施感到自豪。基于这些见解，我们提出了多孔数字隔离模型：在该模型中，用户寻求的不是一个封闭的替代互联网，而是一个带有选择性退出机制的保护性默认环境。最后，我们将研究结果与信仰对齐技术中的更广泛问题联系起来，并提出设计建议。
英文摘要
Religiously branded platforms raise important questions about trust, usability, and autonomy when technology is built around a specific faith. Prior HCI work on Islam and Muslim technology has focused on single-purpose tools such as prayer, scripture, and health apps, leaving infrastructures like browsers, which shape a user's relationship with the Internet, unexamined. We address this gap through semi-structured interviews with 16 users of Kahf Browser, a faith-aligned browser designed to support Muslims' online activities. Findings show religious identity motivates adoption but does not sustain it. Trust is not fixed by religious branding but shifts over time based on the browser's functionality, and users take pride in Muslim-built infrastructure. Building on these insights, we introduce porous digital segregation: a model where users seek not a sealed alternative internet but a protected default with selective exit mechanisms. We conclude by connecting findings to broader issues in faith-aligned technology and offering design recommendations.
