addBreadcrumbs

The addBreadcrumbs method and the addCategories method have similar functionality, and you can them interchangeably.

You can use the addBreadcrumbs method to add a breadcrumb trail for a site visitor's navigation. This information allows you to see how the visitor arrived on their current page. The method data is an ordered array of strings. Therefore, you should add each breadcrumb to the array in order.
