When remove Breadcrumb from site it remove Page Title on catalog pages

Question

I have tried to remove breadcrumb from the whole site using below code.

<reference name="root">
    <remove name="breadcrumbs"/>
</reference>

Or just

<remove name="breadcrumbs"/>

When put this code to local.xml it remove Page Title on catalog Pages

Is there any other safe way to remove breadcrumb from the whole site.

Answer 1

Here is safe way to remove breadcrumb.unsetchild instead of remove

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        <reference name="root">            
            <action method="unsetChild"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>
        </reference>       
    </default> 
</layout>
