I add flag persistent_storage false to params. But engine try to worked with index db.
But i get warnings in console.

var extra_params = {
		archive_location_filter: function( path ) {
			return ("{{DEFOLD_ARCHIVE_LOCATION_PREFIX}}" + path + "{{DEFOLD_ARCHIVE_LOCATION_SUFFIX}}");
		},
		engine_arguments: ["--verify-graphics-calls=false",{{#DEFOLD_ENGINE_ARGUMENTS}}"{{.}}",{{/DEFOLD_ENGINE_ARGUMENTS}}],
		custom_heap_size: {{DEFOLD_HEAP_SIZE}},
		persistent_storage: false,
		disable_context_menu: true
	}

//we are able to set this parameter manually before `preInit()` call:
Module.persistentStorage = false;  //in `Module` it is `persistentStorage` not `persistent_storage`
