RDFa Breadcrumb provide links back to each previous page the user navigated through to get to the current page or – in hierarchical site structures – the parent pages of the current one.
It gives you a new template tag called <code>rdfa_breadcrumb()</code> that you can place anywhere in your template files. It has inbuilt RDFa content markup, so this will help Google to recognize and display the breadcrumbs on search results as well.
Check out the screenshots.

RDFa Breadcrumb

An easy template tag for showing a breadcrumb menu on your site and on google search results with built in RDFa Markup.

This is a single-block plugin for the breadcrumb trail. It’s simple, lightweight, SEO-friendly, and WooCommerce compatibility. It also includes some simple separator icons. It works everywhere: Page Editor, Site Editor, and template files.
<h3>How to customize the breadcrumb</h3>
<ol>
<li>
How to change/remove an item?
<pre><code>add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_item', function ( $item_args, $context, $breadcrumbs_instance ) {
 // Ignore items without context.
 if ( ! $context || ! ( $context['object'] ?? false ) ) {
 return $item_args;
 }

 // Eg: remove a term.
 if ( 'term' === ( $context['type'] ?? '' ) && 'term-slug' === $context['object']->slug ) {
 return false;
 }

 // Eg: Change the title of a page.
 if ( 'page' === ( $context['type'] ?? '' ) && page_id_to_change === $context['object']->ID ) {
 $item_args[0] = 'Make it shorter';
 }

 return $item_args;
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
$item_args is a 3-item array: <code>[$item_label, $item_link, $item_attrs]</code> 
$context is an associative array: <code>['type' => 'item type', 'object' => 'item object']</code>. <code>type</code> can be one of the following values: <code>front_page</code>, <code>home</code>, <code>shop</code>, <code>page</code>, <code>post</code>, <code>single</code>, <code>term</code>, <code>taxonomy</code>, <code>post_type_archive</code>, <code>search</code>, <code>404</code>, <code>paged</code>, <code>author</code>, <code>date_year</code>, <code>date_month</code>, <code>date_day</code>, <code>attachment</code>.
</li>
<li>
How to change the markup of the block?
<pre><code>add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_breadcrumb_trail', function ( $markup, $args, $breadcrumbs_instance ) {
 return $markup;
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
How to add or remove the items from the breadcrumb trail?
<pre><code>add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_items', function ( $items, $breadcrumbs_instance ) {
 return $items;
}, 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
How to use a custom separator for the breadcrumb trail?
<pre><code>add_filter( 'breadcrumb_block_get_args', function ( $args ) {
 // For example, change separator.
 $args['separator'] = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="currentColor" width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 16 16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M3.646 1.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L9.293 8 3.646 2.354a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.646 1.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L13.293 8 7.646 2.354a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z"/></svg>';
 return $args;
} );
</code></pre>
The custom separator should be an inline SVG. To make sure it displays properly, it should have three attributes: width, height, and fill. The values of these attributes should be as follows: <code>fill="currentColor" width="1em" height="1em"</code>. 
Using this hook, you can customize other attributes such as container, before, after, list_tag, item_tag, item_before, item_after, separator.

How to prepend the blog page to all single posts?
<pre><code>add_action( 'breadcrumb_block_single_prepend', function ( $post, $breadcrumbs_instance ) {
 if ( 'post' === $post->post_type ) {
 $blog_id = get_option( 'page_for_posts');
 if ( $blog_id ) {
 $breadcrumbs_instance->add_item( get_the_title( $blog_id ), get_permalink( $blog_id ) );
 }
 }
}, 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
