DO’H
I just learned from this thread that you can drag and drop a link pointing to a model from a web browser into SketchUp 
(at least on Windows). This greatly improves my workflow. Currently I always use an 3D Warehouse in an external web browser to find components. From the search results I middle click 10 models or so so I can see their information pages in separate tabs and compare them. Until now I have then copied the title or description of the model I’ve wanted, pasted it in the internal component browser and searched for the same model again. It’s clunky but a little faster than saving to file and it allows you to better examine the quality than you can in the component browser directly. Now I’ll just drag and drop the download link from the web browser directly to SketchUp! No component browser required
