Infinite scrolling stays my least favorite interface trend. What's wrong with the pages? I'm very glad it would be changed.

How about "Webpage with 'about us' and other informing links converted to infinite scrolling, leaving those links at the end of infinity"?

I have chronic pain and want to limit clicking "Next" all the time

I'm sorry it's painful for you! Then would be great to have an option to choose between scrolling and page views.
