You obviously have some knowledge of this field and I respect that. There
is no best way however and I am still learning after over 10 years in the
field.
Users with "average" vision are dwindling and they too stumble on highly

You ask about alternatives to breadcrumbs and they do exist and can be more

really powerful is the page title. Next, there can be a little map of the
site that shows where you are in the site and even where you've been that
you can ask for. Yeah, don't make me click, but I'd rather click than be
cluttered.
