Okay so this kind of navigation:
Home > Sports > Football > BVB
Is called “breadcrumbs”, because, like with Hänsel & Gretel in the old Grimms’ Fairy Tales strewing breadcrumbs on their way into the forest, to be able to find the way back, it can help you navigate your way back home.
But Hänsel & Gretel only found their way back, when they used white pebbles… the day they used breadcrumbs, birds ate the crumbs and so the siblings get lost in the woods until they find the witches cottage.
Breadcrumbs is how you DON’T successfully navigate your way back. Breadcrumbs is how you fall into the hands of some grubby old cannibal lady.
Breadcrumbs can be hijacked, manipulated, reordered, edited, disabled, or deleted via Javacript very easily as long as scripting is enabled and active in the browser (like on virtually everyone’s browser except for the very few large penised giga-chads (or large vaginaed giga-fems in tech circles that disable all that entirely)).
So realistically, I think you’re completely wrong in this assertion. I think breadcrumbs are a lot like breadcrumbs if you look at breadcrumbs the way you’ve presented breadcrumbs.
But also, H & G were children. Their breadcrumb scheme was creative and clever by child standards, even if it did not quite work out.
