This is kind of a Rube Goldberg, but it's worked for me...

On the guitar "fretboard" you will see gray dots. Ignore whatever chord it displays as a default.
Move the gray dots to the strings and frets the tab refers to.
Put an X on the circles on the "nut" on any non-played strings.
Click on Search. It will show you the names of the chord(s) that tab represents.
For bass chords, not that I'm going to be playing chords any time soon, what I did just for education and study was to take the notes of a triad and find them on the bass fretboard. Usually they turn out to be an inversion of the chord because the high B and high E strings don't exist on bass.
For example, on guitar Cmaj is CEG. Its inversions are EGC and GCE. Any combination of those three on the bass fretboard is Cmaj.
I hope that helps.
