WebView - how not to reload the page when the screen is rotated?

Question

Android

Given: an application with one host Activity and many Fragments. In one of the fragments, the content is loaded into the WebView. I would like to make sure that the page does not reload from the web every time the user rotates the device.
Stackoverflow offers this answer:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
  
  ...
  
  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    
    ...
    
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
      mWebView.loadUrl(URL);
    } else {
      mWebView.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
    }
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    mWebView.saveState(outState);
  }
}

The problem is that restoreState just as stupidly pulls the page from the Internet (checked on 4.4.2 and 6.0.1).
Found another solution: www.devahead.com/blog/2012/01/preserving-the-state... It boils down to disabling the automatic re-creation of the Activity and saving the WebView itself in addition. But that's not an option at all since I have ~30 fragments and manually handle each onConfigurationChanged... Hmm...
Doesn't this work with fragments? Or is that how it should be?

Склонен считать, что это проблема мобильного хромиума (который и есть вебвью)
типа такой
у меня на киткате (SGS3) была такая проблема просто при переключении табов браузера, а на CM11 на этом же аппарате - не было.

Проблема в пересоздании активити. Кажется на андроид это не решить без костылей
