### Box-sizing
Some third party software, including Google Maps and Google Custom Search Engine, conflict with Bootstrap due to `* { box-sizing: border-box; }`, a rule which makes it so `padding` does not affect the final computed width of an element. Learn more about [box model and sizing at CSS Tricks](http://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/).
Depending on the context, you may override as-needed (Option 1) or reset the box-sizing for entire regions (Option 2).
