Hello

I wish to use ipfs-js within an iframe, which have restricted permissions  
That means i cannot use IndexedDB, which is used internally by ipfs.  
How can i switch to an in memory cache instead of indexeddb?  
Is there an easy way to do it, or would i need to monkey patch it?

Pinging this up. Is there any way to change the default store method?
