No one suggested that. No one has suggested anything for NEWS, AFAIK.

Whatever. RET on a link works as usual, so mouse and keyboard do the same thing.

I proposed more than once to add a user option for showing breadcrumbs.
Personally, I think it should be optional but on by default. You shouldn't have
to "find a way" to remove it - that should be as easy as customizing an option.
If someone wants to implement it, optionally not showing breadcrumbs could
provide behavior like you describe (MB3 shows a breadcrumbs menu,...). Go for
it.
