Breadcrumbs Component
A list of links representing current location in site hierarchy.
Breadcrumbs are a navigational landmark that let the user discover their current position in the site hierarchy and provide a means to navigate upwards through that hierarchy.
Breadcrumbs are typically used as secondary navigation on sites that are organized in a hierarchical manner.
Typically, the last breadcrumb is the current page, therefore that link's href attribute is not relevant and can be removed.
